No, but have been to their operations and training- very respected. 

-you need to have a good team on the ground-you need to have access to non-traditional lenders (local initiatives banks/thrusts, local hard money lenders, even the city)-you need to understand your exit strategy is another section 8 investor-you need to be/think different-you need to look for people looking for long term renting;-you need to screen your prospective tenants like crazy-you need to be respectful , understanding, professional and by the book/letter of the law+letter of your lease, all-at-the-same-time!

The Triangle (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) is consistently voted one of the best places to live/work/play, thanks in large part to the local job economy and three major universities in each of those cities (NC State, Duke, and UNC, respectively).

While $1500 monthly is a great start for direct mail, it would actually be more worth your while to save on the answering service cost.It might help you if you had an idea on what to expect in respect to the response rates.

The two already had an established trust and respect for one another before embarking on this project, which proved invaluable to the renovation process.

., I think you need to be more respectful of the time and input these experts are giving to you.  

@Joseph Graeve - With all due respect, a single asset's capitalization rate will be no indication of the area's, good or bad.

And yet we frequently hear complaints about the quality of appraisals.Can't have it both ways.We either pay appraisers a respectable living wage appropriate for their education, training, and licensing requirements, and the work it takes to do an appraisal up to Fannie/Freddie standards, or all y'all's BRRRR deals are going to blow up during the refi appraisal. 

HOAs are less of an issue for a flip or remodel prior to renting but can still cause issues if they are strict about construction hours, noise, treatment of debris, permits, exterior paint colors, etc ... even if you are respectful, follow the rules, and are in the right, an overbearing HOA can still make your life miserable.Agree with some others, BTW, the only "Good HOA" is NO HOA ... all others are varying degrees of Bad.
