There's a BP get together group that meets once a month, you can attend a TREIA West event (near Cary), a TREIA main event, TREIA subgroup for newbies which Tim Masters runs....Triangle Deal Maker Sessions usually meets the first Monday of the month (it's the second Monday in September because of Labor Day)....

My concerns would include 1) crime, 2) proximity of other buildings you don't control, 3) (local) apartment supply analysis, 4) scope of capital requirements, 5) rehab grants/funding, if any, available 6) loss run report @Patrick Madigan I am in the Fuquay area for about a week and would take you up on visiting the property if this Friday or Monday next week....

I bet your local McDonald's isn't running on a MTM lease.

It is a pre-manufactured, and much "beefier" (Lower left photo) support system designed to provide additional vertical and horizontal resistance in wind, snow, and seismic zones for which the design criteria has been pre-approved and stamped by an engineer.

It will scratch and scuff way to easy compared to laminate or engineered hardwood floors.

Conventional, VA, FHA loans all max out at 4 units.  5 units and above are commercial loans and require 25% down and are based off your ability to run a business.
