I'll watch a few videos and see what I can learn.

I just posted a YouTube video about just that recently :-)

As both an investor and a mortgage broker who has personally used both options, I can say there are benefits to each.It ultimately comes down to comparing the two side by side based on your specific situation.

.- Most contractors will cut corners, or worse, once they figure out they won't be watched closely:( Your job will also go to the bottom of their priority list.Monitoring progress is relatively easy: hire that same inspector to go by weekly or before any payments to take a VIDEO of:1) What was done2) Quality of workmanshipOne other thing you didn't ask about, payments to contractors.- They all want 50% down or as much as they can squeeze out of you. 

It is also great to change small but specific terms and conditions due to it not being just one tenant anymore.

I've consistently written about the forces of nature and her current and future effects on the real estate market (even while often being ridiculed and politicized on this very site for it) regardless: I personally moved and invested in coastal Oregon in 2018 from Venice Beach Los Angeles partly as a result of the trajectory of climate and have assisted several clients that specifically purchased on the Oregon Coast for their own 'climate havens,' investment and future retirement homes. 

I focus on finding deals that meet specific criteria, and I always keep my underwriting conservative to make sure the numbers work even on a worst case scenario.Right now, my big goal is to land my first property, ideally 20+ units in Florida, and build a strong portfolio from there.

Once they exercise seller financing, the property is sold and all 1031 rules apply. 1031 has specific timelines.

Hi Benjamin, I'll shoot you a message and we can connect to talk specifics. 

I also work with a team that helps cash buyers execute the BRRRR strategy or build rental portfolios, making it as seamless as possible for out-of-state investors.Best of luck, and let me know if you have any specific questions!
