It would be devastating to overextend yourself and have the unexpected occur on FOUR projects, to the extent that you are unable to rent them and now you are stuck with four house payments, insurance, taxes, etc. and I assume you plan on having a primary residence, so five payments.

I own a rental in my own name, because it was my primary residence that I converted.

Hey all, I'm stationed in Germany and am sending mywife nback to Washington state due to some medical issues with my daughter.....we would like to buy a multifamily home with VA for her when she arrives and then move ...

I do understand everything you are saying, especially regarding the contract, and that is the primary argument for wholesaling as being legal (which I agree it should be). 

I have a SFH (primary residence) and a lot in my name so I mentioned that we should probably form an LLC so I can protect my assets.

The only property tax discounts in Mecklenburg county that I am aware of are for the elderly low income households (65+) and/or disabled veterans and that only applies to their primary residence.  

No need to speculate how the conversation went and add fuel to the fire of this thread.

I'm in the process of converting my Primary Residence into a vacation rental, and this would solve a major logistic issue I have with granting access to the house.

That should not vary for the term of the contract.Now have them explain all their crap fees:  fuel surcharge, city surcharge, fuel surcharge on the city curcharge (I love that one).If they are "getting froggy" with what they actually bill, hold them accountable!

I have the cash reserves to replace the whole thing (thankfully) but I'm curious to know what others think.Additional background, I have to replace another AC unit on my primary residence this year also so I'd like to be in a position to quote two units and get a discount.
