Smokers are not considered a "protected class" (ie: race/gender/age/etc).The lease the tenant signed prior to us acquiring the property says nothing about smoking either way.  

The downside of this may be high turnover rates.The real estate agents and property managers operating in this zip code, may have more to say on this. 

I'm focused on small to mid-sized multifamily properties in south central and eastern NC, and I’d love to connect with others that are actively investing and operating in these areas.

I have listed my property on Zillow with rent of $2700 but I see that for 4 bedroom houses the section 8 gets closer to $4k from the government.

The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rate jumped 27 points from 6.26 percent to 6.53 percent on Friday"I guess I go back to buying properties with zero down, taking over 3% mortgages. 

A mentor of mine with 400 units had said I can use a large seller credit to cover most of the down payment on a property I'm looking at.

The property includes a screened-in patio and an underground pool.

This perspective goes beyond merely buying and selling properties; it involves a strategic approach to wealth building and risk management.

Just an example is property taxes. 

The seller has countered with the following conditions:- Loan to value (LTV): 80%- Earnest money held by seller's recommended property management company- Final inspection within 1 day of closing- Commission paid by to buyer's agent is 2% of final sales price.I'm seeking advice on how to proceed, as I have some concerns:- Why would the seller request an 80% LTV?
