I have a loose goal of logging on to here once a week, reading a couple of real estate books rec'd by a BP member, and trying to find a good deal analysis spreadsheet that works for me so I can start running properties through it from the RDU area where I'd like to buy a SFH (single family home).

Prep the area of the wholes in the drywall by removing the pulled out material and then do a quick sandpapering of the area and blow the wholes clean of anything loose.  

The requirements are pretty loose and they have been good to work with so far. 

It's in their interest to fill vacancies, even though you my opt to continue with it.You have two diverse methods of working with a PMyou sign the contract and hand over the operations to them.you require your authorization for every decisionIf you're pay the bill for the PM, then let loose, close your eyes and collect the income. 

Learn various local markets so I can conquer them (in a good way of course).I don't want any bounds; however, this is suppose to be an introduction so I'm going to close and thank anyone for reading this complete post.

This illegal conversion to a duplex has led me to loose the ability for a conventional mortgage, and I'm not I have enough cash to have the down payment for a commercial loan.

With your background you are bound to find a bank that will be happy to do business with you and help you grow!

One of those things is to consider, depending on what you have to loose personally, is to form some type of corporation or a LLC.  

Burlington has been great for years , but i believe when the new report by Allen and Brooks comes out , you will see vacancy rates shoot up to 3.5% --maybe even 5% . i have noticed real slow on 3br up ( unless on college schedule  of june 1st ) also people seem to be moving or breaking leases much more often ; with 3,500 units being built , it was bound to go up . i believe it is still a very healthy market and the new units will be absorbed . 

A loose work piece in a miter or sliding miter saw can develop a mind of its own faster than you can react.
