@Priya GohilI'm a fan of Durham specifically.

Big fan of this as a way to leverage existing equity.

Although I am generally not fan of too much Government interference, I think in this case it protects the consumer.

The house is in a college town, so for the theme, we were thinking local university but trying to be mindful that opposing fans may be visiting. 

Folks have reported light fixtures, sinks, ceiling fans, washers and dryers, refrigerators and stoves, microwaves, etc. walking out the door when the tenant vacates. 

You might find that the existing long term resident isn't a fan of your rules and procedures and might resist change.3) As an agent, I avoid removing the inspection contingency if at all possible.

Previous owner had ceiling light fan combo powered from a receptacle.

Make sure they know to do things like to keep the exhaust fans in the bathroom on for 15 minutes after they shower, use the vent above the stove.

I am a huge fan of a house hack so a small multifamily would be my recommendation as they tend to be a little bit easier to house hack when compared to a single family.

Not a big fan or mortgage brokers for investments, I believe the cons are bigger than the pros.Also important: it matters which Loan Officer you speak with at the bank!
