We’re not married to any Particular development, but ideally we’re looking for something newer (less than 5 years), detached with a good sized pool (not splash pool) We’ve been looking at 4-5 bedroom homes in Championsgate in the under 600k range.  

There is a good chance that if you put your primary home into an LLC, you'd most likely lose that exclusion.Is there a particular reason you are considering making this LLC?

I probably saved 200k on this particular project.

Smart thermostats, in particular, can help you monitor energy use and lower costs between stays.I hope everyone’s experiences and perspectives help guide you as you start this journey!

While I did not work with other agents or lenders for this particular deal, my professional experience ensured a smooth transaction and effective project management.

I could say a particular town or area, but if there aren't any, many properties for sale that doesn't help. 

If you are trying to do this in Newark, you need to know the market of that particular set of blocks so you don't overdevelop for the farm area.

In particular know exactly what you negative equity position will be and how long it will take at conservative cash flow numbers (near 50% of rent going to expenses other than P&I).  

I ended up selling that particular property.

Once I've completed these initial projects and built up some capital, my long-term goal is to transition into buy-and-hold investments in potentially more affordable markets to maximize cash flow and scale up.Right now, I'm particularly interested in investing locally here in the Seattle metro area.
