I'm Diane :) By day I'm an executive assistant to c-suite execs, by night I run my own virtual assistance business, and 24/7 I think about investing in multifamily homes.

Bonus points if you have worked with them and have personal experience.The property is in South Carolina, if that matters. 

My sister works with him much as part of her midtown business.

If you pay the loan off before selling or do a refi and have $1 of equity, it won’t affect your taxable gain. 2) if you stay 2 years you’ll have 14 years of personal use out of 22 years so 63.6% of the gain cane be exempted, up to $500k.

Ultimately it would boil down to your personal risk tolerance.

My business partner and I actually own a portfolio of STR's in the area, so if you wanted some insight on that business I'm happy to share as well!

Some regional cities that I personally would consider are Savannah, Beaufort, Wilmington, Columbia, Greenville, and Charlotte.

Being a normal person and giving someone a heads up has not bit me, yet.In addition to what the law requires, I always shoot the tenant a heads up either via text, call, or email.If they are mostly responding to email, then shoot them an email.Emojis and gifs work wonders in today's day in age.

The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

Personally, I've been in the mobile home investing niche since 2007.
