A bit concerning if the market takes a turn but overall and overtime we will be in a good postion.PS - Since 2003, Dean & DeWitt Property Management has helped investors buy, sell, and manage investment properties in the St.

I’m not planning on buying until 2026 so where do you go for real estate news and market trends?  

Quote from @Kaushik Sarkar: Hi,I am looking to invest first time with a turnkey developer,  who is buying the land and building a multi unit commercial retail center and some apartments.

Simply gifting him half the property now wouldn’t immediately allow him to claim the exclusion without fulfilling this residency requirement, I don't believe.One thought would be to use a HELOC to pull just enough equity out of the current home and use it to buy a smaller home, or at least the down payment.

Some say we have to buy the house with them or we paid too little for the property and finally after going back and forth and submitting all our paper work and paying for appraisal they now tell us they didn’t realize that the property had so many bedrooms and they said they do not loan to properties with so many bedrooms.

How many people hours at what pay, plus cost of buying lists, plus skip tracing, plus phone/texting charges, plus office overhead and so on and so on.Noobs think texting is cheap to free ;-) 

For the rentals, are you open to buying "fixer uppers"?

Secondly, I'd chat with a realtor and get some recs on lenders to truly see what you're working with in terms of buying power.

Who's gonna buy them?

My goal is to buy one rental per year with price between 150k-250k for the next ten years (if i get to keep my job).
