I currently live in a 1000 sqft home that we pay a mortgage on.

Here's a little background on Tenant situation...has 2 or 3 young kids, an adult sister, an aunt with her male friend and the lessee has a male friend, that all appears to live in the apartment but aren't on the lease.

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

For example, they won't need to cover your personal belongings (furniture, clothing, etc.) because you won't be living there.A landlord policy should cost about the same as a homeowner's policy; it just changes what is covered.

I live on the main unit. 

You track all of your expenses the same way irrespective of profitability. 

Where you live in relation to the investment property shouldn't matter.

I too live in Asheville, so Sapphire was closer than Cashiers and Highlands.

However, when you don't know what you don't know, this is an incredibly dangerous and risky position to be in with such an expensive investment.Just my 2 cents.

Slow live in flip happening here.
