Quote from @Konstantinos Lembesis: Hello all,I have been monitoring the Akron market for a few months and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for neighborhoods to avoid. 

Here’s how you can stay informed and ensure your rental properties meet all legal requirements.1.

to see if you like it and can learn/handle the require underwriting. - contact @Jay Hinrichs about this, pay him if necessary, as he's been doing for 25+ years.Good luck!

As a first timer, I'd avoid anything built before the 1960s that could have cement sewer lines, knob and tube wiring, etc.

It’s crucial to ensure that your cash reserves can cover not only the mortgage but also unexpected expenses during the remodel.The 30% housing rule is a helpful guideline to avoid overextending yourself, and ideally, you should be comfortable with your monthly housing costs even without rental income.

I could have put less down on the primaries but I put down 20% to avoid PMI.

I am at my wits end with what to do on this to avoid losing everything on the deal.

Selling it to someone willing to relocate it, offering it for free to avoid removal expenses, or donating it for a potential tax deduction could be better alternatives.If she passes without transferring ownership, the landowner might have to handle the trailer’s removal.

Instead, it reduces the seller's net sale proceeds, which may impact the amount required to be reinvested to fully defer capital gains taxes.For the buyer, the credit lowers the property’s basis rather than being deductible as a repair expense.
