There's literally no advertising in the post at all, it's simply a news update on changes to UW guidelines...

Effectively good egg is simply a P.O. box that takes a Commission out of your hard earned/saved money, in return, for purportedly providing due diligence to vet the potential projects and sponsors, on your behalf.

On the other hand, I’m hesitant to simply pay down more of a property, as we don’t need the immediate cash flow.Fortunately, both my wife’s job and mine are recession-proof, which allows us to be a bit more aggressive with our investments.I’d really appreciate advice from investors who have experience with frequent moves or military service.

Quote from @Jackie Liu: Hello BP member, I have a friend who currently owns several SFH rentals that is currently managed by a PM in Indiana, according to them the PM has been unresponsive for 3 months, all their attempts to reach the PM has been uneventful (phone, message, etc.).

If you answer the phone and there is an uncomfortably long pause before someone talks, it's a machine dialed number and simply hang up and block the number.

However, if the aim is simply to start basic operations or register an initial business, a virtual office can be a practical and efficient solution for the early stages.I hope this clarification helps.MontseOke yes so we are basically talking about the same thing. 

I find that hard to believe, but you can always call HR and simply say you are trying to confirm if X works there and not say why you need to know.

Simply put, many of these distressed properties were put under duress by the former owners financially, not necessarily the location.

I am currently in the planning phase of my real estate investment journey and had a few questions I’d like to ask someone more experienced.Would it be smarter to focus on paying down my own mortgage and then use a HELOC as a down payment for my first investment property, or should I simply use my savings for the down payment instead?

Simply gifting him half the property now wouldn’t immediately allow him to claim the exclusion without fulfilling this residency requirement, I don't believe.One thought would be to use a HELOC to pull just enough equity out of the current home and use it to buy a smaller home, or at least the down payment.
