Other property owners have been running specials on rent to fill the vacancies, charging the same rent of $1200 that he signed a lease with us for the 2/2.

My guess is yes in which case, get a copy of the document and let the family pay the back rent. 

While some feel they have become too commercialized, others still find them useful for learning.The property listings and tools like calculators and rent estimators that can aid in analyzing potential deals.The local meetup groups that allow investors to network and connect in their area.Overall, BiggerPockets is seen as a good free resource for beginner real estate investors to learn the basics, though the quality and trustworthiness of the content is debated, especially after the company was sold.

If that is the case then yes, he can still choose to rent to someone else.

We're planning to move there eventually and rent out our primary in Georgia.

@Daniel ColonWhat are you concerned about being sued renting a new construction home?

After that, I turned it into a rental and had it rented for 3 years before selling it.

The RTP area, comprising cities like Raleigh, Durham, and Cary, is an attractive option for several reasons:Strong job market and population growth, driven by the tech, research, and education sectors, ensuring consistent rental demand.More affordable home prices compared to Charlotte, allowing for better cash flow from rental income.Areas like Cary, Apex, and parts of Raleigh have newer construction townhomes/condos that fit your criteria.Potential for long-term equity growth, as the region is seeing steady appreciation.Some recommended areas to consider near RTP:Cary (especially newer developments like Amberly)ApexNorth RaleighDurham (for slightly lower prices)Charlotte is also a solid option, though it may be more expensive:Strong financial/banking sector driving job and population growth.Higher home prices but potentially higher rents as well.Newer townhome/condo developments in areas like Ballantyne, University City, and South End.Robust long-term equity growth potential, but higher entry costs.

I bought this property from a company that buys distressed properties, rehabs them to prepare them for rent, and then sells them to a buyer.

Hey @Anita Zuniga, take some time and hit up AirBNB and VRBO and see what is renting in the area.
