Well done Vince!

So more Roth for way less in taxable income incurred. doing this is easiest in a Solo 401k if you qualify but can also be done using a checkbook IRA as well. check out this post that @Dmitriy Fomichenko made explaining this concept.https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1223601-how-t... 

To find good deals, consider networking with agents and local investors, as well as using MLS, off-market listings, and auctions.

Consider cash flow as being necessary to cover operational expenses, maintain healthy reserves so you sleep well at night and help secure the most favorable debt. 

Found T&H realty services to be pretty interesting as they provide both buyer brokerage service (to help me find deals) as well as do property management i.e. they are not full turnkey provider necessarily, but reduces some of the hassle for me I guess as an out of state investor. 

There is an interest in medium term rentals for travel nurses as well.  

They can pay for the credit boost as well Thank you!

An additional benefit of a detailed engineering-based Cost Segregation Study is that it can increase potential insurance premium savings as well as provide support for the property tax appeals process.

My partner and I have a flip that we will be starting in mid march as well!

If structured well, this can be a great way to get started without much cash.
