Because that is when the impacts are most felt of everything one has to do with the now pile of ashes. 90 days to do nothing forces people to engage with staying. 

@Amir Portal  I think you should stay open to all areas. 

The good ones will have access to off-market deals. 

I'd be happy to help and have absolutely nothing to sell.

If you "need" to get five listings, you won't get them.

Passive Activity Losses: Are there ways to offset my W-2 income with rental losses, or do I need to qualify as a real estate professional for that to work?

I struggle with podcasts because they show a slice but not usually a start-to-finish how-to and you could invest countless hours (like I did) listening to many podcasts to piece things together.

I encourage you to consult with a qualified attorney to ensure this agreement complies with applicable laws in your area.

One option is to find a co-signer with W-2 income to help qualify, or you could explore DSCR loans, which focus on the property’s income rather than your personal income.
