Best solution is to help her find a 1031 exchange property, Delaware statutory trust or other.

Cross Border finance companies (If anyone wants to go this route I know the 3 largest in the area) Hope this helps! 

Thus you may do well to focus on bordering towns, such as Old Fort, Mars Hill, Waynesville, Brevard, etc.Hope this helps.

The border income that you listed is only required when purchasing a primary residence, you can't use the roommate tenants , even with existing leases to help qualify for the mortgage.If you are buying it as a investment property, you just need to record it on your tax return for 2024 tax return and in 2025, when you file your taxes, you will be able to count it positively for your debt to income ratio.

L@Paul De Luca I’m thinking of saving up to down 20% probably and I would also like to have it rented by tenants in the future

Do you charge and how much.Acceptable Vacancy Rate - we own a reasonable # of doors in the city of Milwaukee - not great areas but not horrible either.Thanks in advance State laws dictate what you can charge for a late fee (in DE we have a 5-day grace period and the maximum allowable late fee is 5% of the rent amount) so look at your landlord-tenant code for this.As far as pet fees, it is also capped per the landlord-tenant code for our state at one month's rent.Too many variables to address your vacancy rate question.  

I'm a new real estate investor who's primarily making deals in Delaware, Montgomery and Philadelphia Counties.

@Bruce LynnThe bankruptcy was filed in Delaware and I don’t believe you can “hide” your proof of claim, you could understate I guess if you are embarrassed but I am 99.9% sure this will all be public record.

The first is in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro - a small 2 bedroom oceanfront condo. 

Investing in a bordering city is a good idea because of that if you can find a deal where the numbers will work for you.
