I am a new real estate investor who is looking to close on my first deal in the next 2 weeks and I want to be prepared for tax season.

My understanding is that a gift cannot be used as a down payment for an investment property, so my thought is to wait 2-3 months before applying for a loan, to season the funds. 

Profitability varies based on location, seasonality, additional costs, occupancy rates, and reality checks.

Research local rent trends, the tenant profile, and how seasonal factors (e.g., university students, tourism, etc.) may impact demand.7.

I was approached with an opportunity and being a newbie I wanted to see is these members made sense to a more seasoned investor.

So far into the portal, I am amazed on how many things it has, he has overdelivered for sure, I am reviewing all the material now that its holiday season and I am looking forward into the classes and the coaching calls.I will update my post once I finish the whole class and leave my full review on it.

It’s my first US purchase - you expect me to be seasoned pro?

We’re sick of the heat and want to live somewhere with 4 seasons!

This steady influx of visitors is creating strong demand for short-term rental properties, especially in areas close to downtown, such as Fountain Square, Mass Ave, and Broad Ripple.High Occupancy Rates: Short-term rentals in the city are enjoying high occupancy rates, particularly during peak event seasons.

Thanks Hey Troy, I would say the best bet is for you to try to sell it as a package deal and get a seasoned investor-agent to try to get you some action on it.
