These properties are new purchases in the past few years and what the city has on file is what the prior owner submitted.We would like to get in front of this requirement by providing the floor plans of each property with the rental permit application.Is there a web site, software, or company, etc. that BP members know to gather this floor plan data by location? 

One of the reasons there's no flow chart you can just buy or copy is there is a complex web of federal, state, and local laws you have to comply with when it comes to tenant screening (Fair Housing, Privacy Act, Fair Credit Reporting Act, HUD Guidance on Criminal Records, Section 8 Income Qualifications...just off the top of my head).

Your interactions with the tenant ruined your vacation.3.

My experience is:Pros - older folks always pay the rent usually timed when SSN check comes in, never had cause to evict an old lady, small 1000 sq ft Florida bungalows are desirable as a senior rentalCons - rents are lower than market price, expectations for service are higher (more interactions with property mgmt), gotta keep properties upscaleOverall, I’m happy in this over 55 space. 

Maybe asking people what they are looking for could help and then attending meetups and interacting in social media groups.

My agent, although a great guy, has also not interacted with contractors much so is just taking my word that paying up front is a major problem.

There are market, holding, and lending considerations - but, in function, these are not unique to NC.I interact with a lot of folks in the investing space, so I keep up with trends, but not all of the details.
