I'm not sure that I would start my note buying career in OH.

Reminds me of a story.There once was a man who put in a field of corn.

I live in North Carolina and I wanted to know if NC is considered a landlord friendly state or do I need to consider launching my real estate investing career in another state(LOL)?

I'm an oilfield service hand that has been looking to change careers that would benefit me, but mostly my family in the long term sense.

Best wishes for your program and investing career!

If nothing else it shows that you are putting in effort into launching your career.

Real Estate can be a rewarding career; it just needs to be treated as such, do it full time or not at all."

I've administered well over 75,000 1031 Exchanges during my 30 year career, and I can tell you that most are not looking for bragging rights, they are just trying to defer their taxes.

My interest is mainly "buy and hold" with a focus on small properties of 4 units or less.We won't be purchasing anymore properties until at least next year, I prefer local investing and until I get hired in my new career field it doesn't make much sense to buy more property where we currently live.

Maybe they don't care because they field a lot of questions about investment properties, but it's bad.
