Happy to connect and knowledge share if you are interested.

Welcome Joshua, I’m new here as well and also live in Raleigh! 

Honestly, before the paid subscription, lots of tenant messaged me for showing and submitted application as well. 

We have a lot of 2-bedroom oceanfront condos under $350k that perform well. 

Have a lot of knowledge managing there and Im looking to grow a portfolio.

But, it was well worth it and got the snowball going!

I have a long term tenant who I inherited when I purchased the property he has always called us whenever there was an issue (A/C not working, Broken window, toilet not working etc) Well last night around 8:30 pm we received a call from him that he called a plumber to remove roots from the sewer line and wants us to pay the bill. 

Hello all,I'm seeking advice on achieving a higher ROI in real estate investments beyond the 1% rule and maintaining around 35% of monthly operational expenses (including Cap-ex, maintenance, property tax, and vacancy).To the best of my knowledge and abilities, the 1% rule with 35% operational expenses seems to be the best I can achieve today.

Average build time right now is 6-8 months.Your unit will be on Septic and Well.
