This is the first home that I am landlording and the first tenant was amazing, I was sad to see her leave but happy because of the reason she left was a good one.I am looking for advice from you seasoned pros! 

A good one will also have skin in the game and will even be able to bring new acquisitions to your attention.

The original post leaves the door open for a challenge by the IRS, so the safe harbor of holding it for investment for two full years is the safer option.  

I also always keep my rent increases in line with the local market, so sometimes I'll have tenants threaten to leave sometimes, and once they do their research they realize that it wouldn't make sense at all to find another property and end up paying the same thing.

And you can also buy them when they're beaten down and underpriced due to market overreactions like currently, due to rapid rise in US 10yr rate.I've read and watched multiple Good Egg offerings and they are typical of many feeder funds and to be fair like many primary GP/syndicators as well for both taking on unnecessary risks and also charging confiscatory fees, as #1 they have no skin in the game and #2 they get a big cut up front whether project fails or not, find GPs that are investing >10-15% of their own cash into every deal.good luck and sorry this happenedlooks like they are a fund of funds setting up crowdfunding to invest in other offerings.

Here are some thoughts on your choices:401k Loan: This can be a good option since you're borrowing from yourself, but it comes with repayment risk, especially if you leave your job.

There is a reason we lenders require "skin in the game" and experience.

My monthly payments (mortgage, insurance, taxes) are roughly $3,600, leaving me netting about $4,600/month.I have four years left until military retirement, after which I’ll have a pension, some disability income, and rental income from this property.

The structure of the business is changing behind the scenes, but the ownership of the accounts by the business remains the same.IE if the guy who created the "Vacasa" account on Airbnb/VRBO leaves Vacasa, they don't have to start over with a new account just because the guy that initially created the accounts left. 

My mortgage will be $2,005/month, and I’m budgeting up to $600/month for utilities, leaving a potential monthly cash flow of $995.I also set up an LLC and a business account to track rental income and expenses.Questions:Do you have any advice for me as a young real estate investor?
