Looking to start with a few rental properties with some cash flow, but my plan is to invest long term and grow into some larger multi-family properties.

The site is really starting to grow quickly now.

Welcome to the forum, Heather.The forum is a great place for you to learn and grow in your real estate journey.We're glad you're here.

But again, it depends on where you are...Union (NC) county is growing super fast and now Gastonia is supposed to be one of the new hot spots...Oh, and Lake Wylie is slowly turning into Lake Norman...which has boomed in the last 5 years like crazy.

Good location in a growing city with moderate (2%-3%) but very steady appreciation.We have enough income to own both houses should this one go vacant.Some background on us:My wife is a liscensed (but currently inactive) realtor.

How did you grow lo large so fast?

And it will start to manifest itself in all kinds of ordinary situations which you'll cultivate toward the attainment of your dreams.So dream big, and start to believe it will happen and that you are becoming the person who you want to be and you will become that person.

When your porfolio grows, the truth becomes readily apparent.On the topic at hand, I agree with All Cash - I would not do a rental that far away.

If however you haven't contacted Lloyds and found out but are fudging a little, which I suspect you are, because your tone would have changed if you actually did find out we are not only real but on the brink of changing the world in the small area of investment properties for ordinary people. -- But For others reading who would!!!

Good area with growing population.I'm assuming 10% vacancy rate, 6% property management.
