Also, once you get over 5 bedrooms you have to commercially park your project.

You are like many others who are getting started and unfortunately your generation is screwed because of the amount of spending is older generations have done and put the debt on you which also has led to record inflation.All you can do now is plan for the future and don’t force things but invest wisely when the time is right.

Charges for marketing pics, 3-D Tours, Floor plans?

I know I can get an insurance plan, but is it worth the headache?

I pay attention to local amenities like shops, parks, and restaurants, because they make the area more appealing to tenants.

I recently purchased a 2 unit property as owner occupied with one unit already rented out. 3 months after closing, I was laid off due to a restructure at my company, so I decided to rent out the other unit my girlfriend and I planned to live in.

I read about a 1091 exchange and if i reinvest my money into another property within 6 months then ill avoid paying the taxes on it. is this a good plan, if not do you have any other suggestions.  

Make sure you check the local ordinances / zoning and talk to the local administrator to see if you can do what you are planning.
