For new investors, starting with a turnkey cash-flow rental is a solid choice. 

Similar to the allowances in a pro forma, they are simply set asides and only become expenses when the property taxes/insurance are actually paid from them. 2) Capital Expenditures - They certainly feel like expenses, but certain improvements cannot be expensed outright but instead have to be capitalized and expensed/depreciated over time.  3) Depreciation - Finally some good news! 

The final option is just purchasing cash if you can find a property for 450k .

If the seller is unwilling to negotiate, walking away could be a wise choice to avoid unforeseen expenses and health risks.

We arranged movers for both his belongings and the seller’s, ensuring a smooth transition for all involved.Once he was out, we completed the final walk-through with our cash buyers, who were eager to close.

And if you’re looking into rentals, Coloma is a solid choice for both short-term and mid-term rentals (think 3-6 month leases).

I haven't made any final decisions yet. 

I finally have some time to visit Indy this weekend (10/26-10/29) and would love to attend any local real estate events while I’m there.

Between the walls where spirits dwell,I offer choices none can tell.To dwell today and own tomorrow,A future free from spectral sorrow.A chance to claim the haunted keep,What hidden pact do mortals reap?"

I finally got down to analyzing deals, working with a realtor, etc. but I’m having a hard time investing in an STR when I know the returns I get from investing in more product in my business is exponentially more and quicker turnaround.
