Or just mention my plans for a buy and hold next year?

I bought a couple of lots in a tax-deed auction, and when I went to sell them a year and a half later, I found that all the title companies I called have new policies that require a person to hold the property for 3-5 years or more before the title was regarded as clear.

If not, then just charge it to your experience, you don't have hold over your unlicensed contractor.

If not, then your annual returns will be dragged down the longer you hold it.  

With my research, I am most interested in buy and hold and maybe some flipping.

After the property is repaired, we will refinance to an investment loan and either hold the property if it fits within the vision or sell it to another lucky investor.If you're interested check out my profile and if our goals align, send me a message.

I am very interested  in buying and holding and possibly flipping.

I am a new buy and hold investor in North Carolina and am wondering if anyone has a good website for obtaining a good lease.

Also, make sure you research various ways you can hold the deed.

We started out with one rental, moved on to short sales for some time, then flips and now mostly buy and hold rentals.
