Wishing you @Michael Baum and the rest of my friends here a wonderful Thanksgiving.  

Recently I had a conversation with a friend and real estate agent who wanted to purchase a home.At the time, they were looking for an agent to represent their family on the transaction.

This deal and the one before it came about from networking, building a relationship with my property manager, an investor friendly realtor, and learning what makes a deal a deal.

Hello BP Community,As is very common I have friends who purchase their rental houses under their own name in order to get lower interest rate loans with better terms and also cheaper landlord insurance, and then they transfer the title into their LLC after closing. 

We would love an air bnb there to visit family and friends though! 

Like @Nicholas L. said, maybe look within a reasonable driving distance from where you live, is there any city or state where you have family or friends that live there where you could travel to frequently and they could keep on the property for you or somewhere you visit a lot.  

Unluckily The “basic charge” that everyone including solar users has more than doubled in those 15 years.
