Everything else is paid at closing. 

I like the idea of a mix - with a smaller capital contribution being my buy-in and then a second larger amount for funding the first deal being a loan that will get paid back to me over time - over say, 5 years.

HI Pari,There are several ways to run and make sure you are maximizing your rental income while keeping your living expense as low as possible.

The cost of the loan is so expensive that there is no room for much of a profit.

Raleigh/Durham is going to be more expensive but that also means there's higher chance for ARV and/or rent, depending on what you want to focus on more.

You can deduct the mortgage interest you paid during the tax year on the first $750,000 of your mortgage debt for your primary home or a second home.

I've always found it interesting as a young kid how people could own more than one house when houses are so expensive.

The only PITIA paid from personal account is for a personal residence.

The more protection you have, the more expensive it'll be.

Although we may see more inventory hit the market as people can escape "rate lock".I invest in today's market by searching hundreds of properties on the MLS, then going to see the top 10-20, then making an offer on the best at a price where I can cashflow after all expenses and putting 25% down.
