@Roopesh KrishnamoorthyFinding cash flowing SFR is going to be a challenge (especially since you are looking for a primary at this point) and if you leave (H1B lottery) then do you plan to continue to fund any shortfall from India?

Aside from disclosures, which I think can sometimes hinder a purchase or a sale, it's a lot harder to play dumb as a seller when you are a licensed professional. 

Can you please share why or why not and how the performance played out over a longer period of time?

But I'm not sure what that has to do with carrying a large mortgage where you are just breaking even and speculating that property will continue to appreciate.  

With rental real estate, you can usually deduct up to $25,000 in passive losses, like depreciation and expenses, if you actively participate in the rental activity.But here’s where income comes into play: if your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is $100,000 or less, you can take the full $25,000 deduction.

Hi, I am a newbie investor who is playing the slow game in buying a primary, rehabbing, then turning into a rental or selling every 2 years.

So we could do this loan strictly as a value add play on the self storage units and renting out the metal building.

Do I need to draft a new lease with the tenant, or can I continue with the existing one?

If you start communicating before things get all legal, then that shows everyone in the neighborhood that you are willing to work within the regs and with the neighbors in order to fix issues.If you aren't the problem, things are smooth with your STR, then you want to convince them that they should let things continue and penalize the problem properties and not yours.My 2 cents as per usual.

Also, how can you confirm that they are going to continue to be in the military for some time, and not going to get kicked out or discharged, or already has been?
