I would be curious as to what your lease says, and if the parameters consider something like a pest problem, your responsibility or the tenants responsibility.additionally, it is hard to find a quality tenant that is going to be a good steward of the home and will be long lasting with the longevity aspect, especially for that price for an apartment. 

Just have a few questions before we get to deep into the process:What are some common mistakes that can easily be avoided?

Another aspect that's important is to communicate to your relinquishing property buyer (Boston condo) that you're going be doing a 1031X and that they can offer you flexible closing time.

Avoid C-Corps, as they incur double taxation.Use LLCs for rentals and consider an S-Corp election for flips if income justifies the additional complexity.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Companies choosing new locations look for these key factors:Metro population over 1 Million: Companies require access to a large, skilled workforce and established infrastructure.Low Crime Rates: High crime deters both businesses and residents.Low Operating Costs: Companies prefer locations with lower taxes and fewer regulations to maintain competitiveness.Low Risk of Natural Disasters: Companies avoid areas prone to natural disasters that can disrupt operations.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Hi Evan from Sayville, NY-You asked about whether a lender would pay real estate commissions and closing costs with a short sale.I negotiated a lot of short sales after the Great Financial Crisis.Short sales are similar to dealing with a bank owned property accept the bank is trying to avoid taking it back so the terms, specifically an acceptable purchase price, have to be negotiated.The thing I found that was important to negotiate was the lender agreeing to settle without further recourse for the seller.

When considering creative financing, it’s crucial to fully understand the terms and risks of partnerships, seller financing, or using HELOCs to avoid overleveraging.

-Transfer the property into an LLC – This may allow me to take ownership while potentially avoiding property tax reassessment, however this sounds like an involved process-Establish a living trust for my aunt and mother – The trust would specify that I inherit the property upon their passing and provide step up in cost basis but i'm worried that the living trust can be modified to have me removed (who knows what can happen) - My mother is somewhat volatile.I would like to live in the property and my mother will live in her second property with her husband. 

The LLC aspect is more for liability reasons if someone was going to sue you (so maybe you create the LLC when your son moves out).2) Like #1, a separate bank account will make it easier to track, but it's not required3) No, he can't also be the property manager.
