What is one thing you are doing right now to pull that trigger on your first property?

Then there's the issue with doing a 1031 which is fine but my property taxes would go from $2200/yr to $4400/yr for an identical home. 

Hi Sara,We do see a lot of new construction in NC and SC, but specially in NC.If you’re looking at areas with high demand, Charlotte and the Raleigh-Durham region in North Carolina are definitely worth considering.

I do this with my own portfolio by placing half my capital in high yield mortgage notes, yielding me 12 -18% annual; and the other half in real property with often little current cash flow but large appreciation potential.  

I think that's exactly what I will do. 

The borrower originally agreed but (this is where its important to take notes as the gurus do not teach this),  - what do you do before getting a deed in lieu?

Do you have an email address?

(As a landlord, I always do best to fix any issue.. other tenant live without any complain and she is the only one...she say she will report health department etc..)Sametime, She keep saying  she want to move to another apartment (1fl for her mother as her mother has some disability ) she wouldn't leave.I didn't like turnover and it is section 8, I was going to let her stay til she find the new home.

@Matt Rodak runs the site and I have met him a few times and had a number of discussions with him (more from the investor side not from the flipper side).

After all they are leasing the entire property as is so they are assuming that doing a build out isn't going to cost them anything more in rent.
