Renting My First Home

Can anyone give me very minimal info on what things I should look at when buying and renting out my first home? I’m hoping to have the capital in under 2yrs which I’m looking at have around 60k which is doable. I want to know from a trusting someone who’s had success with multiple homes. What kinds of things would I be needing to look into as far as landlords, keeping overhead and expenses low, taxes, etc. Wanting multiple properties myself within 6 yrs maybe 5-6 homes being rented. I know the income won’t be there for awhile but I’m thinking long term it’ll be a good investment, especially if I end up with 10-15 homes in multiple areas. Which brings me to the question of having landlords or keeping up on my property while me not being there and still making a profit. I’ll be doing lots more research in the meantime but that’s what I’m heading towards for early retirement, real estate investing. 27 years old if that means much. Thanks

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
