(The tenants would still have gas for their stoves.)Does anyone have any experience or insights into fuel pump usage in this region and what kind of utility cost it may incur?

Hello BPers,

I am currently a SFR investor in the Miami-Dade area with 1 rental property currently under my portfolio, looking to expand by purchasing a possible second SFR (duplex, In-Law Quarters, Efficiencies) wit...

The prevalence of lead-based paint can vary by region, with the Northeast being at greater risk, with many more historical buildings and older homes, compared to other places.All of our properties are in the Pacific Northwest and were built prior to 1978.

For loans, I'd suggest calling around to a bunch of the local community and regional banks, asking to speak to their commercial loan officer, and writing down each of their options. 

Second, research the heck out of the area and narrow it down to one region.

My husband told the regional manager that he could not leave in such short notice that if he wasn't allowed to live there that he needed at least a couple of months, then we would move out. she told him that she would ask corporate office and would let him know what they said.

I'm having the same problem and there are investors in these regions (still haven't stumbled upon their secret) but not being able to determine the arv is what is really holding me back.

And I am hoping to start creating a network of people that we can do business in the short and midterm.We are hoping the community can help us to understand better the area of Raleigh (not sure if that will expand to the RTP region) as far as the specific neighborhoods.

I think that you would be put in a vulnerable position being just another solider renting out his property as he is deployed or transferred overseas.  

I handed out cards and received a lot of great insight from people who respected me for coming in and showing vulnerability.
