I've been listing to Bigger Pockets for over a year now.

Hiring a property management company will eat away roughly 10% of your rental receipts; however you won't have to worry about creating a contractor list and you may not have to deal with calls at 11:00 at night.Upstate NY is also an option.There are a couple of real estate networking events that meet in NYC.

I am assuming the items below but am unsure if this list is complete and if my estimates are correct for NC. 

This way buyers can then shop buyer agents and the commission should be negotiated purely between buyers and buyer's agents which would result in zero possible collusion. 

Purchased in cash far below listing price.

I’ll continue doing research, but Columbus and Cleveland are now on my list in the spreadsheet I have.  

Be sure you and your friend are receiving annual forms 1098 associated with both loans and that you discuss with your respective tax advisors.You will purchase hazard insurance in your name, listing the underlying lienholder as 1st loss payee and your friend as 2nd loss payee.When structuring a wrap, it's best for the wrap term to be longer than the term for the underlying loan and of course the monthly P&I payment to be higher. 

The new listings I have seen are laughably expensive (mortgage is 2x rents for example). 

Who know what regulations will come down the pipe as other local towns have implemented.Just looked up Airdna and they have the lions share(289 rentals) in the area although they aren’t listed in the Top Properties category.

My curiosity includes how timeframes are affected, the listing price of the home, quality of work etc.
