Does anyone know of any other ways to gauge the effectiveness of this plan? 

@Cristal Ochoa @Leiah DotlichI will preface this with the fact that I have a legal background, specifically with estate planning and asset protection.

Plan for a smooth transition: Respect the notice period and prepare for any potential disputes.

A tax advisor specializing in real estate can help you navigate deductions, plan for 1031 exchanges, and ensure compliance with ever-changing regulations.

@Jaycee Greene I planned to approach the seller to explore the possibility of carrying a seller's note.

It takes time but worth it.How do you plan to finance your first property—are you looking at traditional loans, or have you considered other options like house hacking?

I plan to live in the multi-family for a year then move out and rent the unit.

I am ready to talk to mortgage lenders and anyone who can help guide me on a financial plan to rebuild my credit and start a small savings to build up to my first house hack deal in Q4 this year in the Raleigh/ research triangle area. 

@Tonio PearceYes you should create a business plan.

I wouldn't start investing in the US if you have no plans on coming back from living in China.
