I bought a house this year and I’m worried doing taxes.

My wife not comfortable putting our house as equity, therefore we are utilizing other options to fund investment properties. 

I only have 1 property under my belt and am currently house hacking my SFH.

You certainly can ask the seller to make the units vacant before closing.

These areas have affordable entry points, diverse housing stock, and steady demand.

Most sellers that are open to selling you a deal off-market are just like I was with my rentals: the way to motivate them to sell is to give them a price HIGHER than they think they can get on the market.  

When you say as long as its not directly in flight path, meaning - when plane flies over the house?

If he's going by on Tuesday with a dumpster, I'd meet him at the house and as soon as he's done, change the locks. 

Quote from @Stacy Banks: Hello I wanted to know what does it cost to do foundation & framing for a 1,500sq ft house being built in Lehigh Acres Florida.  

And IMHO, the prices are dropping big time (on avg. 10K/month...houses that were above 300K a year ago are not selling at 250K now) and the available rentals saturation is worse than I seen during summer season (with rents dropping from 1$-1.08/sqft to 0.8$/sqft and very little contacts and applications...just go in Zillow and look how many rentals are on the market now in Kyle, New Braunfels or Converse).
