I'm planning to stay with him for the long haul.

Sometimes, in the case of an eviction, I think the tenant may have stolen them, but mostly I think it's just opportunistic scavengers who see the U-Haul in the driveway and come back that night to take them.

We don't have a tremendous supply here so I have toyed with the idea of getting into the Lynchburg market.

I've tried to buy decent properties in decent neighborhoods to minimize my risk, which also means there's not a TON of monthly cashflow, but I'm in it for the long haul and really truly looking for passive income or at least as passive as it can be. 

When I move to NC, I want to buy a single family home for a long haul.

@Gray Dyer- seller will pay realtor costs in most  cases  ...if you are  trying to shave the price  down  due to  avoiding commissions - you likely wont  save  very much  Over the long haul .   

We've tried to have them hauled off, but we can't even do that without a title.

Toying if I really need an LLC or partner with a citizen and start a new LLC? 

I like to buy toys/equiptment/boats ect for great deals and use them for a few months and sell them for good money.

Your spirit changes when you're not chained to a payment (not to mention your DTI).Get a functional beast that gets you from a to b while while hauling what you need and be free, Chris!
