I am not a new investor :) but as someone who is working with them on a daily basis I will rank in order the buyers I am noticing:1.

I've been happy with it and using it daily.

Considering a Reverse 1031 for my next transaction, especially with the high prices in CA—it seems like a worthwhile strategy.

Just download all your transactions monthly to excel and just code them there (rental income, security deposit, insurance, taxes, and etc).

We're at the point where P&S has been signed by all parties of both transactions, and we've been approved for a mortgage by Salem Five.

From a business perspective, we determine desirability by how many real estate transactions there are in a community and average days on the market.   

Good buyers agents still bring a lot of value to the seller by orchestrating a smooth process for both sides of the transaction.

If you are months out from that transaction I would advise rehabbing the unit you currently own now and tryng to maximize the rental income until you're ready to purchase the other unit.

Our average daily rate(ADR) is high for our STRs, and we provide many amenities to cater to a more luxury clientele, but because of that guests have very high expectations when they book.

The U.S. typically withholds 15% of the sale price if the property is sold by a foreign investor, which can be reclaimed later based on the actual tax liability.Cross-Border Transactions: There are specific reporting requirements and compliance rules for moving money between Canada and the U.S., so make sure you're familiar with those to avoid any issues.It sounds like you're on the right path, and with the proper guidance, you'll be well-prepared to make your first purchase.
