They didn't end up getting the property after the research because the cost wasn't worth it at the time.Call the code enforcement guy when he's in the office or actually walk into his office when you know he's there.

Remember in North Carolina there is a (considerable) diligence fees with any offer you make.

Some jurisdictions offer assistance for properties with historical significance or for certain types of renovations.I hope this gets sorted out for you in a positive way.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.

You can always ask for a tax recert and challenge the assessment file a petition to the VAB value adjustment board and dispute assessment.If all of that fails start looking at investment properties in states like TN, LA, AL, GA, FL, these states in the South East can offer super low annual property taxes. 

Properties with additional units on the property offer separation from tenants and rental income.

@Robert Gilstrap several reasons:1) Investors think they are smarter than all dumb ol' PMs, so the cheaper idiot the better.2) Investors think PM services are a commodity, so if they all offer the same service, price is all that matters3) Investors don't do enough research to understand everything a PMC does, so in their ignorance they default to shopping by price.Take your pick!

As I've been telling more and more friends and colleagues about my REI journey, I've gotten more and more offers from these individuals to be money-partners in future deals.
