Not sure how it tastes, but I have a feeling it is simultaneously full of itself and very touchy to criticism of its flavor.

Maybe a couple hours away or more but there is not a the marketing machine to expose these as much as the OOS flavor gets. 

I made a CLEAR distinction how JUST the city of Detroit being 1/10th of the ENTIRE Twin Cities market, Detroit had MORE sale and rental listings than a market 10X it's size.

Look at past cars that were styled distinct and futuristic, they look really outdated now.

In those muddy waters the tenants would likely argue that they're doing you a favor and that you should just "be fair" and eat the cost, which of course isn't fair to you.Those are only a few cases that would create challenges for any landlord, and if a landlord-tenant dispute were to go to court having those arrangements with a tenant weakens your position as a landlord.There is an important distinction, where if the tenant is an actual contractor who does work on residential properties and actually bills and warranties their work through their company.

I make the distinction here between charging 100% of the interest and keeping it.

or 2 seperate properties altogether, ie, condo conversion....thats a big distinction. 

@John Underwood got one a while back and it’s not even his flavor 

Of course it could be divvied even smaller - Outer banks, Wilmington/SE, Mountains North/Mountains South, etc - but I think those 5 easily cover the bulk of the state, and the little specialty areas that might be missed don't have enough people to worry about as @Chris Martin mentioned.I don't invest here but I do a lot of work here and there are definite distinctions in the areas. 

Great intro @Melani Pratt, welcome to the site.One word of wisdom though: the first deal is not the hardest... that distinction is for the second one.Then once you have the second one, it's the third one.
