Then we keep the accounting straight via Quickbooks with each unit a different Class.

.: @Zeke ListonDo you think investing in property values from 120-180k in upper class c neighbourhoods is a achievable for my first OOS?  

I'm looking at Class B properties in up-and-coming neighborhoods and plan to self-manage once I relocate.  

Skip the class and go straight to learning on the job.

The first question you need an answer for is: If you do not intend to occupy for at least one year, where do you intend to live?  

Horror story #2: while selling off one of the Class C Indianapolis properties, buyer asked me to pay replace the sewer line before closing... absolutely not...here's a partial credit (check to written out to contractor from closing proceeds so buyers don't pocket the money) 

Also, our market has many First time home buyers, so to fix&flip we needed contractors which required much more $$.

@Jeffery Jones you understand you'll be buying Class C & D properties, not in the best of areas?

In US tax law, the depreciable lifespan of an asset is defined by its MACRS classification which stands for “Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System.”Under MACRS, depreciable assets are assigned to different classes, with each class having a specific recovery period.

Thanks for helping me.Regarding my first deal, I don't have any money at all.
