Where I am, land is pretty expensive, but the lot I was referring to was literally just a fenced dirt lot. 

I saw a local FB group post early this year from someone asking how to evict the homeowner from a home where the investor bought the lien a few months before.

Where these numbers are found, there is a very high rate of rent actually being paid.We have over a dozen Fortune 500 companies just in Metro Detroit with huge Healthcare, Auto, and mortgage industry National footprints.

The Due on Sale Clause was born out of Sub-To deals 30-40 years ago where properties are transferred to non-approved, usually unqualified applicants.

I'm a brand new, as green as you can get, have no idea what I'm doing or where to start investor.

The rates for a purchase money loan (one where you take the loan out to directly acquire the property) vs when you do a "cash out refinance", which your loan would be if you chose to pay off the line with a loan on the primary residence, it typically done at a higher rate.

Well, if you rolled it over to a Roth IRA where you manage it it might be better.But, if rates rise a little more, just pull from your retirement funds to cover. 

The minimum length that a vacation rental must be rented for depends on the zoning restrictions, which require either a thirty (30) day minimum rental or a one-week minimum rental, depending on where the property is located.

Potential locations for my first buy preferably somewhere close to where I reside (Virginia, Maryland, or North Carolina).

Where are you investing?
