Hi @Matt Corrigan, Bp doesn't usually condone bandit signs, but what I am currently doing as of tomorrow is putting up my google voice number. that way the county has no way of tracking my real cell phone number. will report back with any finding next week.

I have family in Charlotte and and enjoy tracking the market there.

I would be tracking you down at Pickleball (whatever that is!)

Does anyone have any good sites that tracks mortgage regulation changes?

If you have a strong relationship with a bank (track record of successful investments) they get more flexible on stuff like this.All my commercial stuff is single tenant buildings, with similar leases (non national tenants) and I get financing at around 65% LTV (I don't own very many commercial buildings).You could also make the purchase contingent on the existing owner getting the tenant to sign a longer lease.

They have a track record of results and understand the renovation process that is likely to occur, thus having a better eye for the final product.Of course it all depends on the skillset of the person.

@Wayne Brooks i was planning to get pre-approval, but good to hear I'm on the right track.

I don't focus on those markets but perhaps we will be able to fold in tracking those areas more in time.

You're on the right track.

It's an ok neighborhood (close to some train tracks and a small industrial area), not unsafe or trashy.
