I plan on moving forward with purchasing my first property and starting a portfolio locally -before the year is over..

Although the list may seem intensive, I look at it like this: The total cost of all these items can be much lower than the cost to repair a hidden surprise after purchasing a property to flip. 

My mother-in-law wants to help my husband and I on our first real estate investment purchase. 

So the idea of doing this all from afar is a bit daunting, however, I know the most important thing here will be to create a great team and outsource as much as possible.I have set my sights on a couple of different markets being in the Southeast and the Midwest; these markets seem to provide the cash flow I am initially interested in generating to value add to the properties I purchase.

I purchased Air DNA pro subscription , any thoughts on accuracy of AirDNA numbers for Boston market.

Once the 1031 is complete the LLC dissolves and again the property is distributed to the former members, including the properties just purchased in the 1031 exchange (which each member probably picked out for themselves).This method solved the feared "held for investment" issue. 

The one's I prefer handle everything in house, from purchasing the home, renovating it, renting it, then selling to an investor then managing for them on the back end.

If there isn’t significant equity capture at this purchase price, and it’s not in a great location, this would be a pass for me.

If the Tenant fails to obtain or maintain renters insurance as required, the Landlord may purchase a force-placed liability insurance policy to protect the Landlord’s interests.

So it could take a decade to get to todays market rent. 2) it’s almost impossible if not impossible to non-renew a tenant, especially if you’re not an owner occupant. 3) As a seller, even if I could remove paying tenants I never would without a non-refundable payment from a potential buyer that covers all vacancies for 6 months if they fail to complete the purchase. 4) You MIGHT say as a buyer that’s worth it.
