HiI was wondering if anyone happened to buy one of the Rausch Coleman houses in Benton, Bryant or Conway as an investment property?

I'm strongly considering adding at least one parcel to my portfolio.- Dave

I can say that managing remotely is a challenge for many, I don't really know what value a person could bring trying to perform management services remotely for a third party. 

Temporary buydowns are a better option than a permanent one with today's market, but you are better of using those funds to cover as much of your true costs as possible.

Hello allI just had someone reach out about renting one of my properties to use as a group home or adult care home housing adult males.Has anyone done this and what has your experience been?  

BTW, if you have 5 or less mortgages you can get a HELOC with Third Fed for 1% below prime, no origination fee, and a $65 annual fee.Regarding consolidating properties.

Can anyone recommend a third party phone/answering service that can field and respond to maintenance requests from tenants?

In my city's codes and ordinances it states that one of the common rental property violations is having "over four unrelated individuals residing in a dwelling unit" would the dwelling unit be considered the entire house or just the part contained in the lease (aka the room)?

You just have to find one that's willing to work with you.
