I like Holly Spring because it is less pricey than Cary and Apex while the tenant quality is good.

IMO, paper returns will not be as good in better areas, but you typically get better appreciation, higher quality tenants, less turnover, less hassle.

That being said if you dont get the right quality you are going to pay twice.

I am currently using UberConference - https://www.uberconference.com/ and the voice quality is just awesome.

Get Licensed AND find no/low money down deals:  Your plan is a great way to get W-2 income, and also learn to evaluate costs and quality of repairs, and then to add value to your own properties.We recently were meeting a local lender in a posh beachy area, who said to us, "Surprisingly, my client with the most income is a plumber, not a doctor or lawyer."

Since the podcast has been doing so well (and because I listen to everyone of them) I thought you guys should also have Audio books for the Bp books with @Jscott as well as your new book Brandon.

Also, the duplex is on the edge of small pocket of 70s built, trashy, low quality rentals but with new construction on one side and a gentrification program pushing in from the other.

Thanks, SteveHi Stephen,Our goal is to buy and flip as many properties as we can and as quickly as possible but keeping the same quality in place.We do this full time but are definitely looking forward to being able to hold most of the properties we purchase and once a substantial portfolio is built, hire someone to take the daily calls and look after the entire operation.I use to complain about my workload when I was a laborer and not having enough time in a day to focus on investing.My ex-girlfriends dad asked me."

I am great face to face, as well as on my own, but I am really learning to take on leadership qualities as I step into my own strengths more and more.I am currently seeking more experienced partnerships.

Quality of location/tenants is a big factor...the higher quality you shoot for, the lower rent you receive as a percentage of purchase price.
