@Victor Yang To use the rental losses to offset any active income (W2), you'd have meet Real Estate Professional status (which would be difficult to do with a W2 job because you'd have to work more on real estate than any other job to qualify) OR have an AGI of $150K or less.

As I look into the market and start to build a team I had a few questions:1)  How difficult is it to get and keep a rental license OOS?

Also listen to them if it is difficult to get financing...they're telling you that your math may be off.

De nada 😎I don't know that market at all (FYI, I don't see this is other Midwest markets where my CFO clients buy properties), but I suspect it's related to perhaps the international investors that agent may work with...they are often cash buyers as it's very difficult to borrow here if you're not a U.S. citizen.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

out of state is more difficult than advertised. do you already own a primary residence? 

Once you have family and get a bit older, house hacking gets difficult. 

As you might already know, house prices in New York are extremely high, which makes it financially difficult for me to try house hacking here at the moment.

It is our hope no one in Blue Metrix is a victim of such an aggressive business tactic while part of their management team faces such a difficult health challenge.

I don't disagree that Airbnb claims can be difficult but this is all very common in the industry.
