Deferred Sales Trusts seem like a viable strategy to defer capital gains.

You're just going to need to find a couple of folks on the ground that you trust.

But those didn’t cash flow as good so I threw more $ down or my lender gave me a much better interest rate with a bigger down payment.

They do, however, have up to 60 days to return a security deposit after a tenant moves out.If an eviction is necessary for nonpayment, landlords are required to send a seven-day written notice of the payment due.

It’s true that while the 10% down payment for a second home sounds appealing, the fact that rate adjustments are now similar makes the distinction less about cost and more about strategy.A few years ago, I helped a couple in San Diego navigate this exact decision.

-I'm fairly careful with communication , but again, I know doing business online is way riskier, but I want to ask: Typically, I would trust someone who seems very in-depth, informative (gives statistics and numbers), and basically would give me thorough steps (including worst-case scenarios and what would best fit my situation)^^would people who have experience say that even with the above, some agents/lenders/PMs would still be sort of out to get your money and do a lousy job?

Tenant was acquired with property upon closing(they have lived in their unit for 2+ years with on time payments).

Consider FHA loans for lower down payments and reserve for repairs or upgrades.

Then you will have a principal and interest payment of around $13,450.00 plus Taxes and insurance so add in another $2800 for $16,250.00 a month. 

In new markets, network, use a trusted title company, and consult an attorney for legal guidance.
