To stay busy and active, I and others must hit many singles and doubles with the occasional triple to stay in biz.

I've been managing properties in NC for more than 12 years, and I still occasionally learn something new about NC laws, and it doesn't help that the laws also get revised regularly.

I'm a newbie investor as well and there are a couple of REI groups that do occasional get togethers in the area.

I require tenants to take care of "ordinary pest control" which includes flies, spiders, the occasional mouse, etc.

Real estate is local, occasionally hyperlocal. 

I do get the occasional question about how to sign it, but I just tell them they did it when they accepted the stay.

Numbers wise, the West side 4-plexes will have the best numbers, but Waipahu has some occasional deals.3.

If you are really aggressive, rent all the rooms if you can and couch surf, or build you a little room in the laundry room or garage or some alternative space and live there occasionally if you can get your bedroom rented.Get prequalified today to see what your budget is. 

(I'm on parole with BP after making my personal profile a plug for my website) Oops (:I'm excited about getting to learning more about/from you all and hope that I prove to be occasionally useful as well.

But I'm usually buying notes these days, so the properties are REOs and really just the occasional by-product ;)
