You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a tax strategist willing to work with you throughout the year, not just when preparing your tax return.

If the value really is around $130K, I would expect this property to sell at auction at $60-80K, so be prepared.   

I'm both an investor and an agent, and I can tell you that, as a buyer's agent,  I'd be more annoyed that my buyer skipped over me and contacted a seller or listing agent directly than I would be by being asked to prepare an offer.

@Ramiro De Leon Congrats on taking the first step of saving up money and preparing yourself for your first purchase!

It makes it easier for bad actors to commit fraud on their application.The article does say "The report will be made available to landlords at no cost and will have to be prepared by a consumer credit reporting agency" but landlords should be able to verify that somehow and ensure there have been no changes.

I prepared the lease to start on the 27th and we all signed.Two days before their move-in, I get a phone call that (insert family emergency, that was probably a lie) they will actually not be arriving until the 29th. 

.- Consider holding periods: With a potentially slower market, be prepared for slightly longer holding periods between purchase and sale.- Target desirable areas: Research neighborhoods with strong fundamentals, good schools, and amenities that attract buyers.- Stay informed: Keep a close eye on market trends, interest rates, and local economic factors that could impact your investmentsI also lend on fix and flip projects so let me know if you're looking to get an additional quote for your next flip! 

Some companies will only handle bits and pieces of the STR, so you could have one property management company and another company who is responsible for the maintenance and a third who is responsible for the cleaning and preparation of the property for the next guests.

The CRIM is a good place to start, but be prepared to wait in line or not get good customer service.

Thanks for creating it, I'd love to be able to hear about and prepare for what might be out there.
