how can one buy more properties when the current ones aren’t sustaining themselves in the view of the 50% max DTI rule? 

We are expecting light rail also, between Durham, Chaoel Hill, and Raleigh.I think the reason people are moving here is, because while the costs of living are climbing, they are still lower in relation to other larger cities, but offer a more sustainable career path by transitioning here during this window of time to establish yourself before the economic boom in this area slows down.

And don't get me wrong, this seller's definitely isn't sustainable, but the solutions needed right now (ie: more inventory) isn't a quick fix.

Truth be told I know i cannot archive all of that through working for someone, I want to generate enough money to sustain a business and leave enough behind for my child too.

We have some clients that are successfully purchasing tillable ground outside the donut counties and we have been successful doing a few mixed-use developments with infill but haven't found that model to be sustaining. 

If your market or property can't sustain the $100 premium, then go with $50. 

Hi William - The nuclear plant, Whirlpool Corporation, and Lakeland Medical are currently among the greatest contributors to the sustaining the population and the quality of it's contributors to the community.

If you bought your low income property between 2002-2007, you are not in a good place right now, simply because it will take years and years to regain the loss you sustained especially if you used loan to acquire those properties.

Given the recent changes, how will recent acquisitions be able to sustain this level of debt with property values crumbling across the city?
