When I started to digest some of the advice in the guide, I began to really concentrate on what I and the investor were focused on, which was to find and make deals happen.

You will know what you want to concentrate on after you digest enough educational material to make an informed decision.

Lately I've found the #s on a SFR and duplex are much more do-able than the #s on a tri/quadplex, and if you house-hack, they are far more digestable if you house-hack as it's the lowest cost of entry.

So much to digest can't remember it all!

I would stick with a 6-8% increase as that would be easier to digest on the tenants part.

I read this article (from Stessa's digest email) and pricing seems to be going the right direction for properties with ADU.

Thank you all for the feedback.Likes like NC doesnt play well with others in the field of legal services according to this recent WSJ post...http://www.wsj.com/articles/legalzoom-sues-carolina-state-bar-news-digest-1433720614

Its actually true regarding the low barrier to entry you just have to really take your time and digest the information and follow through.

While foreclosures can often be found on public sites, if you are busy and want to save a bunch of time analyzing more property the lists typically are pretty cheap, like $30-$40 a month and can consolidate a bunch of information into easily digestable and sortable information.
