Not at all we've done many & the last one (2017) was a a $2500 rehab with a new kitchen, scratch & dent appliances & a new shower stall base ($50) & .49cent/tile for the surround (we got the tile at an auction).

Another landlord told me that so long as I'm the owner and I DIY it to code (I'm surrounded by licensed tradesmen), permits, while encouraged, are not required. 

What need to do if the lease has months to go and who should collect the rent.Is there any type of legal document that could enforce previous owner surrounding the rent after losing the property.

Want to inform myself on best practices and pitfalls to avoid surrounding property / tenant takeover.Any help is appreciated!

I have a section 8 tenant, so I learned a lot about all the regulations and rules surrounding that.

What I see now are buildings that are literally falling down and the asking price is basically the same as the rest of the surrounding houses in the same street that are not in disrepair.

Any recommendation on great general contractor that has experience working with investors in the Charlotte and surrounding area?

I would like to the location to a suburb of  Madison, or at least a surrounding city. 

We love it here so much, we are considering investing here so we have reasons/places to come back.We’re renting a car today to tour the surrounding area.

Love it enough to want to buy rental property to give us reasons to come back and places to come back to.We're renting a car today to tour the surrounding area.
