How would you as a RE investor handle this situation?

I recently bought a house in a popular city in my state. I decided to buy the rental property, which is a duplex with a 5 minute walk from the city's major university, with the existing tenants already living there.

My current monthly payment (premium, interest, insurance, taxes, etc.) is $2,300/mo. Each tenant pays $1,050/mo for a 2bed 1bath ($2,100/mo total), which I believe is very below market rate, after renovations im looking at a fair 1350-1400/mo and 900 for the studio/loft based on 50+ comps within 1 mile.

Im also getting ready to have contractors come in and do just under $30K in renovation/rehabilitation work and finish the studio apartment upstairs (easily $900/mo, but not a legal unit, would share electricity with 2nd unit, has galley kitchen, 1 bed/1bath/wash/dryr).

1 Tenant is a single female, the other is a single mom, 2 kids. They are Month-to-Month leasee's. State law is 30 days notice. With winter right around the corner, my monthly net being about -$300/mo to do all of this, how would you handle this situation in the next year or so to move into the net positive? I want to be fair to them, but also to myself & my business. 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...

How to get started?

Hi! I’m 23F and I just graduated college with an english degree (😅) but i’ve been working in nonprofits since I was 16 and lucked into an amazing first job with an one of the biggest and best real estate non-profits! I love my job so far, but it’s my first time being surrounded by such wealth (and very hard working, deserving individuals.) To be quite honest, I‘ve had a rough few years juggling multiple jobs to finish school, and the idea of myself not living paycheck to paycheck seems light years away. This is all being said, I guess I’m posing the question towards the group of what I can do now to start building that kind of future for myself. I find real estate very interesting, and i’ve loved learning about all the machinations behind development- I’m just not sure where to begin within the industry (investment/rentals are definitely not an option for me yet). I’m also looking to go back to school, but being that I don’t know where to start, I wouldn’t like to begin classes aga...
