Hi there,Given the complexity of your situation—owning a rental property in Florida while residing in Illinois, house hacking with your daughter, and planning to claim tax breaks—it might be a good idea to consult with a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or an Enrolled Agent (EA) who specializes in real estate taxation.While your current tax professional at HR Block has experience with multiple properties, a specialist can offer more in-depth knowledge on multi-state tax issues, rental income reporting, depreciation, and maximizing deductions specific to real estate investments.

Our partner, Archie Raglin, helped us secure the property at $11,000.

(in the publication process now) But I dont understand your question.

Focus on distressed properties or those with motivated sellers to secure a better deal upfront.

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). 

Blogs, podcasts, YouTube channels, advertorials in different publications can all be ways to start getting your name out there as someone to trust with investment funds.2.

the seller has to trust that you / the buyer is going to make the payments and also pay the taxes and be a good steward of the property since that's their security on the loan.usually you'd put a balloon in, but i bought one deal where the numbers worked out for us to fully amortize it over 12 years. 

I have my public market portfolio, which is the usual stocks and bonds, etc.

You will need to really start playing the long game though and focus on securing assets that have good underlying fundamentals as you will need to get more creative with the financing if you want to keep moving quickly.

A few months later, we received a notice from the lender stating that we no longer had home insurance and needed to secure coverage within a certain number of days.As it turns out, our original home insurance was canceled because it required the property to be owner-occupied.
