I have been hearing more about using a virtual assistant (I work FT so I will need support) and wanted to reach out in BP to other investors to see if any of you would want to share a VA? 

I am using a hard money lender and just purchased a property from auction in Hull, MA.

.: Quote from @JD Smith: What are the rules around purchasing a property using a second home/vacation property mortgage (10% down) and renting it out? 

If you got the property using a second home loan, you want to be careful with the amount of days that you stay in the property.If you stay in the property for more than 14 days, it may potentially be hard to utilize the losses against other forms of income.

It took a while to get right - but we've had consistent success using a mix of research, mindfulness towards our neighbors/neighborhoods, conversations with cities, legal discussions, and as a worse case fallback is converting the home back to a single-family property and where we offer to manage it for a discounted price since it is a tough situation for all involved (this is very rare).Hope that answers your questions/concerns - let me know if I can provide any additional info as well.

I am interested in using WY Statutory Trusts and LLCs to box up each individual property, and then using a separate LLC for the management.

We just started tracking our net worth about 5 years ago when we started using a Wealth management company.  

We evaluate the after-repair value using a gross rent multiplier and a NOI/cap rate model. 

Well, in that case... unless you go butt naked to someones door, knock on it and ask them if they want to sell their house you are using a gadget right?

I am buying a Short term rental this year but will be using a property management company only for this year, which prohibits me from claiming bonus depreciation.
