Which is very complex and costly and likely warrants professional help.Now, if it's just you and your spouse, then your 2024 tax preparation is likely relatively straightforward:- you will create a Schedule C on your personal tax return- you will NOT report any costs of purchasing the property or its rehab, not in 2024- you will report your business overhead expenses such as marketing, driving, technology etc- you will end up with a business schedule showing zero income and some expenses - not breaking the rules but potentially raising an audit flagCan you do it yourself?

McKinney and Princeton have been growing a lot and it is a good place to invest, but it is always related to what you are looking to achieve in a rental investment, appreciation or cash flow.At this time that area does not offer a big cash flow and due to the amount of development going on there, rental demand has declined a bit.In any case you have to make an analysis case by case.

A more intrusive approach would be to Google the owner name and see if you can find relatives and skip trace and call them.

Or is your concern about cash flow related to your lender?

@William Fishergreat question thanks for posting, I was just looking around for posts that were related to this.

De nada 😎I don't know that market at all (FYI, I don't see this is other Midwest markets where my CFO clients buy properties), but I suspect it's related to perhaps the international investors that agent may work with...they are often cash buyers as it's very difficult to borrow here if you're not a U.S. citizen.

I am planning to get into the TN real estate market as my first investment and am looking for some information.In particular: Areas to steer clear of, property management fees, typical cosmetic rehab costs, etc.My strategy is to put large down payments on 2 properties (relative to housing prices) to help pay for my living in NY while still gaining appreciation in a growing real estate market.
