With a potential career in medical devices (interning at Stryker this summer) I want to be strategic about my real estate investing when I start working full-time in January.

An almost accidental strategic move we had in the first rental townhouse was that we were renting it from a realtor whom we ended up using to purchase our first townhouse. 

I would also tell them that this situation that just occurred (you proactively strategizing on rent prices before renewal, and them subsequently ignoring you) is never ever ever going to happen again.

Regarding location of CPA, having one that understands real estate taxation and how to strategize your investments is the most important attribute you will need.

Also, I had to do it within 2 weeks with 2nd company since Chase declined my loan for the reason.So now I want to have strategic plan to refinance this loan down the road. 

Three houses and 100K equity, start looking into strategic asset protection.

Therefore, most underwriters take the loss to lease percentage of the gross potential rents number and apply that percentage to the pro forma projections or assume they can operate the property better by leasing units strategically by having leases expire in hotter (temperature and demand) months, thus applying a lower percentage of GPR loss to lease (typically 2% to 4%).

Second, our local knowledge helps us make disciplined decisions, getting strategic benefits from our investors’ private funding.We’ve grown very familiar with Denver over the last six years.

Here's where it gets odd.Jack wants me to be the sole borrower on the property, on our joint project.Jack wants me to not tell the bank about my source of rehab funds because it'll "complicate things with the bank"The bank has capped my borrowing limit at $250,000, which is above the necessary $295,000 to do the deal.As a workaround, Jack will be the sole provider of rehab funds (personal funds, cash)Jack wants me to give him one of my personal checks so he can write future offers.Is this a strategic way to expedite the rehab-lending process?

@Mike Dymski I'll vote for taking (strategic) action, Invest $100.
