Investing: How to Get StartedÂ
Did you know the process of obtaining financing for an investment property can be much different than a primary residence?
There are many different loan options that you can explore with varying loan terms and lengths, down payment requirements, and associated interest rates. It is important to evaluate each of these programs carefully, to determine which is the best for you and your investment goals.

Property Leasing: Determining Short-Term, Mid-Term or Long-Term
When making the decision to invest in real estate, there are many factors to consider before selecting the right property. One of those considerations is whether you want the property to be rented out in the short term (ex: 1 day to 4 weeks), mid-term (1 to 3 months), or long-term (3 to 12+ months). Each type of rental comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. As an example, while a shorter-term rental arrangement may be more profitable to an investor, it can require a lot more time and work from the homeowner to coordinate the higher volume of renters and more frequent turnovers.Â
Finding the Right Location
As someone who has invested locally, and also helped countless investors through the process, I have identified the neighborhoods that not only permit rentals but that are known for the income that they can produce in each of the rental markets; short-term, mid-term, and long-term. The location of Wilmington and its surrounding areas offers opportunities for all three types of rentals with short-term rentals by the beaches, mid-term rentals near local hospitals for traveling nurses, and long-term rentals appealing to college students living off campus, young professionals, and families. Search based on the property type that makes the most sense for you.
