But it’s not my fault that that (smaller) investor does not make sure that no DNC-registered number is ever called by his out-of-the-country VAs in the first place… In any case, like I said, pure speculation on my part.I own properties in various states, but it seems that my half a dozen in TN get the most attention from them.

Quote from @Stephanie Lopez: Hola Everyone 👋 I just joined this forum in hopes to gain more insight in real estate investing.

But be cautious, you could check with your lender directly to avoid triggering any concerns.As for waiting a few months before transferring the deed, it’s often recommended just to avoid drawing any immediate attention to the transfer, but every lender is different.

He's reliable, trustworthy, and pays great attention to detail. 

The increase in property taxes, insurance, and maintenance/wear and tear may erase all of your gains and more. 

You will probably be handling more tenant disputes, talk the tenants through gaining their footing in the world again with money, bill paying, interacting with the general population, etc.  

You’re able to learn the basics of a real estate investment with lower risk and build equity at the same time.With 5% down, returns on cash invested could be huge when you factor in the appreciation gains.

Compromise with your parents — save up from working and then invest in a home near the college you’ll attend and house- hack it, renting out the other rooms and gaining landlord experience while earning a degree.

A lot of other markets 20 years from now could be ghost towns with little demand.But on the flipside, that safety/security comes with lessor immediate returns, as is a normal balance with investments (more risk traditionally equals more short term gain potential). 

This also allows you to be involved and gain experience for the future.
