Hey everyone, in the BP podcast #50, a flipper had just finished rehabbing a house in north Detroit.

Check out this forum for more information:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/52/topics/360...And here are a few other links:http://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/P...https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/north-caro...

Plus I rarely see 2-3 families out in Long Island.There was an investor profile on Chad Carson's real estate blog where an investor was house hacking in NJ (Garfield and North Arlington). 

Another area where I think you should definitely look into is University City and North Charlotte (28262, 28213) where the University of North Carolina Charlotte is located and also where the new light rail ends.

You can find a ton of information about a person from some on-line services, like doing a North Carolina Department Of Public Safety Offender Public Information search using just a name and birthdate.Again, personally, I don't want to deal with people where NCDOC identifies as "Primary Crime: HABITUAL FELON (PRINCIPAL)" as in a 29 year old with 8 pages of criminal history with "total Incarceration Term: 15 YEARS 3 MONTHS 15 DAYS" … think about that for a few seconds... 

I know some areas are rough (More north towards zoo) but not sure if anyone has other thoughts.

I would have had to manage a rehab and live with my tenants but given how much I could have saved and the equity I could have generated, I think it would have been well worth putting off the picket fence for a few years.Maybe I’m saying that because at the time I was renting on the border of gentrification in East Harlem and 10 blocks north NYC was giving away brownstones that are now selling for millions.  

What would make the most sense to me is to simply create a new door on the north side of the living room or the kitchen and use that as a main entrance. 

I've read the North Carolina statute for evictions; however, it leaves me with a few general questions -1) The eviction filing fee is around $200.

@Edita D. your properties are in North and West Texas where they do experience more severe weather, but it’s not anything out of the ordinary for Texas.
