Wendell and Knightdale are pretty closely linked...Knightdale being more of a bedroom community I think. 

I feel like I could be pretty resilient from investing in the stock market for a few years but I guess I will never know if a bad deal would permanently scare me off or not since I've never owned a home before.Do you think rather than finding an amazing deal it would suffice for now simply to find something that could reduce what I would be spending on rent somewhere and then continue to search for good deals?

The auction.com title reports can be pretty poor.  

I would start with youtube or find a friend whos pretty decent with excel.......then go from there.

You'll build your huyers list pretty quick.

I have a flat-roof, single-family home in Camden, NJ that sprung a pretty substantial leak in the roof last night.

There are no taxes so can't claim anything like in the states.But one thing that's positive unlike Canada is that rental returns are pretty much anywhere from 5 to 10% net. 

Living in it for 2 years would give a pretty good tax advantage and you would live in your very own home! 

When I got one with them a couple years ago, they required 12 months seasoning.  80% LTV was pretty easy to get. 

the guy just put an F behind your name to create the account.I was a pretty big deal HML in the turn key space in my day.. and all we did was BRRR ..Us being the HML we would put you the buyer into title.. but we wanted an approved take out before we did the A and D loan for you.. so we had you all approved with an ARV appraisal that just required a 442  ( reinspect) once appraiser went back and filed the 442 we closed no appraisal after the fact issues..
