I wanted to live in west town or near wickepark but im thinking thats a pipe dream at this point.My only requirement is that its in a B neighborhood near the city.

That would be buying a B property in C property condition and then turning it to a B property condition.

I'd say it's a B-/C+ area if you wanted to house hack.I'd try Norwood or Oakley as well.

Lots of questions and areas for you to sit down and brainstorm...put it on paper to help narrow your focus/questions.Zillow, rentometer, etc helps with rental rates.you're not going to hardly rent a property for more than the area brings...but you can certainly rent or lessAre you looking at A, B, or C properties (the initial investment amount compared to the return changes)  but then so does the riskMy properties are all in Winston; C properties, but I have paid 20k and less for each. 

You need to talk with Brian Klarich at A+B Rents.

I can borrow against my shares in Highwoods Properties (a commercial REIT based in Raleigh) or an ABS (e.g.

I would call it a B house, in a solid B neighborhood.

I find that in a B class neighborhood you will get 1% most of the time, you may get higher in C CMAs neighborhoods.

I haven’t moved my rents up, they would be adjusted between new tenants or lease renewals. 43608 is a solid D43612 (south side) is a solid C and if moves to a B as you go north. 43613 (east side) is a solid C, B as you go West. 

Make sure everyone quotes the same thing so you can compare apples to apples.Then with the insurance, make sure you have adequate dwelling coverage, make sure they know it is a rental property, think about adding a vandalism rider if you are in a B/C area, and also think about having rent loss coverage.
