Rent Control is a two sided issue.

I have no issue with cold calling either.

We also have issues trying to get our ServiceTechs there for a bid as they may be caught up on other jobs that need to be completed first. 

I love the self determinism of being an operator and I love all the things (well,most of the things) related to income properties.The key here is to not expect to be sipping cocktails on the beach as a RE investor unless you manage to scale out pretty large.

In the meantime, it sounds like not having access to the HELOC is causing knock-on issues.  

Biggest issue is there isn’t enough houses.

Hello,owner occupied duplex has lead issue in NH.

It is now being forecasted as one of the fastest growing markets in the U.S. and prices are still relatively low. 

A few deals i've looked at with investors were great on paper but had other undisclosed issues.

This issue is like that of a pool, some will seek you only becuase it's furnished and others will avoid you only becuase it's furnished - net even.
