It will make your life much easier in the future should you ever decide to sell the rental, get lending on it, etc. 

Check out below for three major developments that are happening in Mecklenburg County:Queens Bridge Collective:Chicago-based Riverside is underway on Phase 1 of a large mixed use project linking South End and Uptown.

The earlier you start in your RE journey, the better off you will be in the future.

.  -- I'm currently taking a property management course to learn how to self-manage my current property and future properties going forward.

A little bit about myself: Day-time, I do project management for corporate real estate clients, and a registered architect.

With second home loans, the mortgage must be for one unit (I do a lot of 2-4 unit STRs), the property must not be rented for more than 180 days out of the year (limits revenue), must function reasonably as a second home (usually limits out of state investing), rental income will not qualify as stable monthly income (projected AirDNA does not play into your DTI).

I have networked and have 2 private lenders that are interested in lending against my new projects.

They have such high cap rates there because the future outlook is bleak.

Send me a dm and ill give you my website so you can check out some projects we have done and the services we offer.

Thanks for reading my initial post, hope to add more and exciting posts in the near future.
