I’d ask a NC title company if it will cause any issues.....getting title insurance for a clear title is all that really matters. 

Have a strong math and economics background and am a licensed insurance broker and real estate agent.

You need a good source for local landlord tenant laws, a  reserve account for the unexpected, setup a payment tracking system, find a handyman, set expectations with your tenant about what constitutes a valid emergency, have the tenants sign a "walk through" list with photos of the condition of the house, make sure they have renter's insurance, 

Online forms for tenants, income and expense tracking, auto add late fees (or other charges you may have), rent collection, integration with other applications, ability to store documents, etc.   

Feel free to use me as a resource to verify rents, run cap rates, or need recommendations for insurance agents, mortgage brokers, and/or contractors, etc...

With 5% down do you need to pay PMI insurance?

Really my only other expenses are insurance, taxes and mortgages.

I’ve insured several deals for clients recently where using the “small town bank” helped.

Be careful with mortgage insurance, which can eat away at your cash flow.
