I have a deal ready, buyer and seller and willing to a compensate for a solid referral, so far the attorneys I've been doing with in New York suck! 

We have everything you need to manage ready in a can: photography, advertising, application, leases, rules and regulations, smoke detector notices and all other forms you need and background check (we do this a lot).

If you are consistent with learning real estate over the next 4-6 months, you’ll be ready to purchase your first (or next) property in NO TIME!

That's great you're taking action and ready to get your first investment.It depends on your buying criteria and situation, but my general advice is to house hack a 2-4 unit property rather than a SFH.

That is exciting you are ready for your first investment! 

After that I was informed by Kenny that the home is complete and ready for move in.

Not sure if you have a direct question, but reading the questions between the lines on when a property is actually considered to be in service.Facts and circumstances.Generally for a rental property it is "in service" when it is "ready and available for rent" - meaning you are marketing it for rent, and a tenant could utilize a property that day.

It requires a higher down payment and remote management, which can be harder without a strong team.House hacking with a VA loan is better for hands-on management; DSCR is great if you're ready to start from a distance.From a tax perspective, if you intend to qualify as REPS or have material participation in STR, being overseas will prevent that.

Let me know when you are ready!

After a bad experience with a tenant (they had 12 pit bulls on the property and absolutely destroyed it), he was ready to sell it and be done.
