Being out of state, I would suggest vetting your "team", meaning find an investor realtor, lender/s (hard $ / long term), property manager, contractors, etc.

And there you are in luck because you can purchase any type of investment property anywhere in the country and defer all tax as long as you purchase at least as much as your net sale. and use all of your proceeds from the sale in the purchase. 

Some update about the lending requirement of my Chase loan program:Product:        DSCR > 1.2Borrower:     Net Worth > Loan Amount     FICO     Liquid Proof > 10% loan amount     DTI: They told me it is not important and don't mention about itIt looks like as long as DSCR of the product is used, it will likely borrower's DTI will not be used.

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I’m particularly interested in methods that have worked well for you in terms of finding deals that aren’t listed on the MLS.Thanks in advance for your insights and suggestions!

Yes, as long as you reimburse them.

For investors looking to maximize returns while managing risk, here’s why this type of deal stands out compared to Treasuries.Treasuries: Safety with Limited UpsideTreasuries are an attractive option for those seeking safety, especially short-term bonds with maturities of one year or less.

How long ago did you purchase the property?

That said, you can still use the existing app as long as you don’t need to update it.
