Overall I know I secured many bookings because I was one of the few whole house listings allowing pets in my market... it made a difference.

What if a different property is sold; can the loss carryforward from property A somehow offset a capital gain on property B? 

Are you going to stick with out of state flips or take a different route for your next project?

Perhaps I should consider the same state, just a different city?

The best thing you can do is drive around at different times of the day and during the week to check it out. 

@Matt Roth for mailers there are various list providers that provide different filtering options, absentee owner, by county, state, type/size/class of building etc. 

I am open to many different ideas and opportunities, ultimately I just want a peaceful getaway in the Offseason but a place where for the other ten months of the year could be income generating.

We’ve loaned on many properties made with a cash offer and never had a deal fall through as a result.A side issue for you to consider is how you’re going to borrow money from two different parties. 

Everyone is different though- I heard Louisville KY is a great place to buy rental properties, especially for people starting out.

I am looking to reinvest in a different market after selling my rental in SF, CA and I am very interested in the NC market.
