Hi, Angela, we are contractors with over 20 years’ experience and would love to discuss how we can work together.

Don't spend time looking for something that doesn't exist.

We are planning to live in one unit and rent the other half out of a duplex, then rinse and repeat this process as many times as possible over the next 5-10 years.

And then somebody else bought it for over asking...

There's no doubt you'll find success over time!

The most successful loans are those that do not procrastinate and get the appraisers In ASAP so you can get over any unexpected bump in the underwriting process.

But this is definitely a CPA question because the IRS rules are based on your AGI and phase out if your AGI is over $100k.

Put 2-3 markets overlayed over each other and you can easily see which market is going to be a rollercoaster ride.

In person is better than over the phone if possible, as I have been told by annoyed or lazy clerks "NO STR allowed" as that was the easy button to get me off the phone, or if they are anti STR. 

Yes it does 90% but you still have to look over it or double check accuracy like you said.
