The Burlington, Greensboro, and Mebane markets are my primary focus at the moment and I’d eventually like to get into some fix and flips but for now my strategy is buy and hold for single family and small multi family.

Lenders have now come around to the fact that this template can be safe and viable alternative to traditional fix and flip funding.

This is what I did, rented a townhome for about a year while I shopped around and ultimately bought a short sale at a huge discount as my primary residence and for $0 again with the VA loan. 

I think wholesaling could work but you typically need money for marketing in order for that to work.No matter the form of REI you traditionally need some money, even if it’s a little bit

Plus you can get reduced kilowatt rate in many geographic areas, if the electric utility certifies the primary source of heat is electric. 

The new mortgage assumed owner occupancy and the deadline to file the affidavit and primary residence is fast approaching.

There are major technical enablers being developed in the IT and tech industries that can help improve these issues, i.e. advances in cloud processing and language standards (xAPI, being the primary enabler). 

I guess I wasn't clear if you are the Buyer or Seller of the Lease to own example.Sellers profit by taking a down payment from people who don't traditionally qualify for a home loan.

I plan to use real estate commissions as well as growing equity in my primary residence to jump into Buy and Hold (Specifically BRRRR) at a later date and work towards building cash flow from rentals. 

As part of the building permit application process for a secondary dwelling, the owner of record shall submit a declaration, under penalty of perjury, stating that the secondary dwelling is not intended for sale separate from the primary residence, but may be rented.
