There is a fine line between offering a well rounded service and leaving too much in the home.I love the business and glad to be a Superhost but this has been my experience.  

Karin,I know I’m a bit late to this post, but I’d like to offer some advice for your future investments.

This just protects our investment until probate is finished.Get creative with your offers you never know what will interest a seller.Have a conversation and find out their needs if you can before making offers.

I told her no and then she told me to sell my crypto, sell my stocks, apply for credit cards and offered me financing.

The good news is that real estate offers countless opportunities, even in higher-cost areas, to build wealth and achieve your goals.

Another downside is you loose on the advantages, of the Federal Tax Code, by not closing in the name of a LLC (you can elect to have a LLC taxed, as a S Corporation which is a whole other conversation).If you want to close in the name of a LLC, Mortgage Lenders will offer you Commercial Loan Terms (25-30% down, a 15-25 year amortization, and a ballon due in 5-7 years).

From a tax perspective, rental properties offer benefits such as depreciation deductions, 1031 exchanges, and potential short-term rental (STR) tax loopholes to offset W-2 income.

Their numbers did not always add up from the initial calls to the follow up, and I believe the returns they are offering are super aggressive.

I currently struggle with knowing the right offer price for the homeowner and having the right assignment agreement for Az.
