JordanI believe there is a limit of 5 “calculations “ for non-Pro members so consider that when testing them out.

Hi @Liz White - I'm sure you've discovered this information already, but I wanted to share it with you in case you haven't seen it (directly from the NC Real Estate Commission):"...requirements for an applicant who holds a current real estate license in another state (or U.S. territory or Canadian jurisdiction) that has been on active status within the previous three (3) years and that is equivalent to NC's provisional or "full" broker license." --- view the requirements here.

I don't, however, want to limit myself to one avenue of lead generation.As a first time investor (BRRRR), I would like your input on:Being exclusive with an agentWhat to ask during agent interviews?

What do you think is a realistic goal given my limited income and age?

@William Washington with the limited information in your post, it sounds like you may be offering a security and should be setting up a Reg D offering (syndication).

Longer vacancy means your 5% vacancy needs to be raised to something like 8% to account for longer vacancy between tenants. or you can rent for 650-700 and get it filled faster. but the point is you have an agent admitting that 750 is pushing it and would deter many applicants from considering.

It is such a great directional guide on how to get creative with financing when your personal options are limited. 

Based on the above, I have now limited my search to 3 zip codes, a certain type of property and max price. 

The lending officer said “ we aren’t in business to fund slumlords sir ”  in lower income areas and on lower income properties banks have low limits and very stingy on lending .

The loan is limited to 50% of the balance or $50,000 whichever is less.
