@Nate T.

Haven't had the time to scour and find deals locally and don't feel very comfortable committing a ton of capital at today's retail prices (unless it was for owner-occupied).I've heard both sides of opinions on where today's market is heading and I'm not completely confident either way. 

Look at BB&T Commercial or Yadkin Bank (now part of First National) - or Peoples Bank.

Then set out to talk to several of these coaches, review clubs (LU, Brad Simrock) and determine what might work best for you considering availability, cost, time commitment, and what you want to get out of it.  

I dabbled off and on for years with no real commitment until this last 18 months.  

You are on the hook for maintenance, repairs and vacancy.So - maybe as is as  note and D of T but lower payment or meet in the middle on price difference but still with a financing medium that gives you ownership day 1 @Edward Smith!

Hello and welcome t BP!  

I'm going t be using this plan to seek new financing, wheat her it's conventional or through private investors.  

We never committed to buying this home.

For those of us committed to the buy and hold approach.
