EVEN THOUGH EVERYTHING WENT WRONG THIS YEAR IM STILL OPTIMISTIC MY CONFIDENCE ISNT WAVERED AND IM MORE DETERMINED TO REACH MY REAL ESTATE GOALS I SAY THIS TO SAY NEVER GIVE UP !!!

A lot of investors based in markets like California and New York are choosing to purchase their investments OOS in the Midwest because of the affordability and numbers making more sense.

Long term goal is Property  Appreciation.Brand new single family home with 3000sqft (+ additional 1200sqft unfinished basement) on a 0.25 acre lot.

It’s awesome that you’re taking steps toward buying in an area you love and planning for the future—whether it’s as a second home or a long-term investment for your kids, this is a meaningful goal.

Worry less about the "rules" and the financing right now, and try running models that meet YOUR financial goal. 

@Maynhia Stott Many states that sell tax lien certificates/liens allow counties to sell OTC - but it is up to the county to choose to do so.

One of my first questions is always - "what are your specific goals?"

This benefit allows the owner’s estate or heirs to receive the property at a new, higher basis—reducing capital gains taxes if they choose to sell the property after inheriting it.In short, partial disposition allows tax deductions for retired property components during ownership, while the death step-up basis resets the property’s depreciated value, providing tax relief for heirs.

100% booked out isn't always good and probably means you are underpriced so that shouldn't be a goal in my opinion What are some of the items that are going missing?

They are not as good as screwing to a stud but work a lot better than those plastic inserts.No matter what you choose to do to your rental property’s bathroom, just make sure it looks good and can hold up to tenants’ wear and tear.
