Assuming your numbers are accurate, I'm estimating your monthly "rent" or your contribution to the monthly expenses will be about $2,000.

Even if you’re not getting money back on your taxes, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing your return is accurate.

I’d also love to hear your predictions for how the real estate financing landscape might shift this year and how you plan to position yourself for success.

It's very difficult to find off-market deals with predictable upside opportunity.  

@Dwight HenningRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

You can watch the meetings at this link: https://engage.buncombecounty.org/d1035 I haven't watched the videos myself.It's hard to predict where things will go now that we've lost thousands of housing units, many of which were in the most affordable bracket.

Hey @Bien Nguyen, so I am not familiar with either area, but I ran the Clearwater Florida tax estimator on a 500k purchase which yielded an estimated $8192.https://www.pcpao.gov/how-do-i/estimate-property-taxesYou can plug in an address a well which should give you a more accurate view.

I think it's about the best time there is to outside of the past to invest and acquire properties.I just recently found an article by Julie Taylor from realtor.com that was posted December 10th that has some predictions on housing markets where "Home Sales Are Set to Soar" with Colorado Springs listed as number 1 with expected YoY sales increase of 27.1% and Denver expected to increase 13.6% YoY quoting Christine Dupont-Patz who is a real estate agent in the Denver area. 

I’ve been digging into the comps to make sure there’s solid data on similar layouts, especially since unique floor plans can be tougher to price accurately.

Quote from @Gregory Schwartz: I just read this article from Redfin (Housing Market Predictions for 2025) that predicts mortgage rates will stay at 6.85% in 2025.That seems like one of the few predictions saying rates will stay that high.
