In my opinion, if you really like one state more than another, try to make the house-hacking work there.

It even states that the lease “will repeat itself” but doesn’t specify terms like figures or percentages for rent increases.

Upon passing these checks, we can use a state-based lease template or re-use one we've already adapted with our specific lease requirements.

I could not find e1031xchange as a business entity in the State of New York (https://apps.dos.ny.gov/public...).

Are there specific cities or states where this lobbying is already having an impact?

We are really open to it all and open to whichever avenue makes the most sense for us and is most lucrative, but we’re thinking that’s flipping first (since we’ll want to do a live and flip), then later buying rental properties in more affordable states with our profits.

As others have stated, you'll always encounter issues, problems, and complaints (negative reviews) from all sides tenants, landlords, and vendors.The bottom line?

Reliable property management is everything, especially as out-of-state investors.

The commitment letter also stated there will be contracts and other documents to sign but that never happened.- When I called the brokerage admin to let them know I had quit the team and to change my status to solo agent, they said their system shows me as a solo agent and that the TL never submitted paperwork to add me as being part of their team.

Mike states not to fall in love with an investment property.
