Anytime I can secure easy funding for more than I can earn - its a great deal!

This is against public policy in NC under the liberally construed Real Property Marketable Title Act statue and its related case law. "...marketable record title shall not affect or extinguish the following rights... (11) Deeds of trust, mortgages and security instruments..."

I would also be interested in purchasing other investment properties but starting with the homestead would be a good start.I have found some great programs for resident physicians who have secured residency positions but I am about 7 months away from being in this position.

My investment would be secured by Deed of Trust.

Granted I wont see a profit, but I wont be in trouble either.2.

Whether the wording is enforceable or not, most bank will not honor a conditional endorsement and you need to have a special arrangement where you verify the endorsement before the item is paid.I believe Beneficial finance or maybe Houselhold used this idea at one time (maybe mid 1990's) where they sent out $5,000-$10,000 checks and people that cashed them had an instant second mortgage, maybe it was unsecured, but the homeowners believed it was secured by their Real property.

Now granted, it takes me a while to rent these things, typically 60 days, as I end up discarding most applicants.

I am not sure on the specifics regarding the costs associated with tenants abandoning personal property.Since we have 30 days to refund the security deposit, and if the tenant does not or refuses to claim any abandoned personal properties after X number of days, can the cost of storage or removal be deducted from the security deposit?

You also need to take into account if your competition is waving the security deposit for qualified applicants,charging a pet fee or not,paying for any water,sewer,trash for the tenant included in the rent,including appliances,or giving a rent credit on move in, and many other factors.Rent rates can look good until you see how many landlords you are competing with,quality of the product,and incentives given driving down the net rent before debt service and depreciation.
