Non-QM does not have to follow Fannie/Freddie rules, so it will be much easier to close a Non-QM going forward than that of Fannie/Freddie, which may be hard to find for that loan type.I suspect that there will be even more innovative products coming out of the Non-QM space as well.

I know they will likely cost more than the cheapest options, but ultimately I'm OK with that given the deal and upside potential.I invest primarily in Portland, OR and typically see the best ADUs and rehab projects being done by these "design-build" firms that take an innovative and thoughtful approach to their projects that are super "Instagramable". 

Many producers are backed up with requests and put you on the back burner until their hotter deals cool off or close.I'd ask to speak to a chief lending officer, ceo or svp.

I will say that the reason I chose to start a business rather than a non-profit for a sustainable goal was that I think for-profit businesses can often produce more leverage and throw more weight around.

It is your house, you can choose the best tenant that fits your needs to produce the lowest risk of non-payment.3) Im not all too familiar with Raleigh, but I know compared to Onslow County, it is more expensive.

For rental properties generating 1-4% income yearly,what are the main characteristics you look for prior to investing?

If this is not possible and they start giving you escuses, tell them you need to make money from the property and right now it is not producing.

Our elderly neighbor moved out and sold the home to a couple that is currently renovating the property and has produced a common drive agreement from 1953.

Go after the low hanging fruit and the investments that produce outsized returns (i.e. will a $400 used washer/dryer lead people to pay $25 more per unit per month in a 3 family property - because that is 225% per annum). 

I guess I should mention that I am also a top producing realtor if that helps any.
