Property Investors — quick question:

Would you allow a tenant with an exotic pet in your rental?

I had this conversation today, and it’s something that can impact both long-term AND short-term rental properties more than most people realize.

Here’s how to think about it before you say yes 👇

We’ve been twice in one week… which probably tells you everything.

Ransom Room + Clove Hitch Beer Company + Overruled Smash Kitchen — three concepts, one shared space. Jacksonville needed this.

Night one:
Smash burger.
Parm-Truffle Fries (don’t skip these).
Asian poppers.

Night two:
Jessica and Kenzie went flatbread pizza + cocktails at Ransom Room.
I went right back to the burger combo. No regrets.

Good atmosphere. Good food. Good energy.
We’ll be back.

If you’ve been — what did you order?
If you haven’t — what are you trying first? 👇

🏡 Under Contract in Taberna – New Bern
116 Arbon Ln. New Bern, NC
MLS 100548673
Just secured this beautiful home in Taberna for a past client’s mother relocating to be closer to family.
We’re continuing to see strong interest in established, golf-course communities in the $450k–$600k range — especially from buyers connected to Cherry Point and families consolidating across Eastern NC.
If you live in Eastern NC and have wondered what your home might command in today’s market, I’m happy to run the numbers confidentially.

I wanted to share this story because it brings to light something I’ve seen firsthand with some of my VA buyers. The article links to a new class-action lawsuit alleging that Veterans United Home Loans has engaged in steering, RESPA violations, and misleading practices — including implying it’s part of the VA and using agent referral networks in a way that may limit consumer choice. 

Many buyers think they have to use Veterans United for a VA loan, and they have a ton of marketing and educational content that makes them highly visible in search results. But there are many lenders who can do VA loans, and you’re absolutely not required to use a specific company or agent to access your benefit.

It’s so important for veterans and active duty buyers to:
• Compare Loan Estimates from multiple lenders
• Know your rights under RESPA
• Understand all fees and credits before closing

Three homebuyers, represented by Moehrl attorneys, filed a class-action suit claiming Veterans United Home Loans facilitates “illegal referrals and kickbacks.”
