@Ashley GuerraTo build a profitable portfolio in South Jersey, choose a single-family house (SFH) approach with closeness to schools and safer areas, or a multi-family home (MFH) strategy using FHA loans, seller financing, partnerships, or responsible leverage of family home equity.

But if I had to choose from your list, it'd be Note Servicing Center.

In the ideal scenario, we picture keeping the property as a cash flowing asset forever and letting our kids deal with it after we die.BUT, if that doesn't happen, and we decide to sell in 7 years or 10 years, I'm going to kick myself for losing out on the capital gains tax exclusion of $500k.  

Another thing to be mindful of if you use a bank/commercial lender is the pre-payment penalty many include in their loans if you choose to refinance (many have descending penalties in years 1-5 that can start upwards of 4-5%).

It's important to choose that one and commit to using it.

If you spent $1,000 on marketing, you do not get to choose whether or not to deduct it.

Of course it depends where in the USA you choose to start, but let's guess using averages....With $50k to start with (as a 20% down payment on a rental property) you can purchase a house up to about $250k, right?

I understand that the Section 121 Exclusion for Primary Residence allows you to sell your Primary residence and not have to pay ANY capital gains taxes on the gains/proceeds - as long as you use those funds to purchase your next Primary residence.What I cannot seem to find the answer to is - what is the maximum timeline allowed from Sale of the first Primary to Purchase of the replacement Primary residence? 

Financing rate is the smartest one to choose if I want to continue to purchase nhomes down the road.
