Now, I'm looking to dive a little bit more into the buy-and-hold strategy.Could you expound more on what you mean by not having much competition on 4 - 8 units? 

I know this is a great deal is why I am wondering why there is a hold up.

I intend to hold the property for a while.

That is the first time I have heard that for a couple of years so hopefully things are turning (I wouldn't hold my breath though)

They'll also change they rules because they don't want to mess with, count, hold on to, $1,000,000 in cash, so they'll switch it to cashiers checks. 

I am using HML now but it is hard to do a Full BRRRR because at least with the last one I still left $14,000 into the property plus since I tried selling first I had $10,000 in holding costs over the 6 months it took in rehab and 3 months of it sitting unsold on the market until I decided to rent it.

Because of this, I'm exploring what it would look like to begin investing in vacation rental real estate as a way to:1 - Save on taxes by taking depreciation2 - Hold long-term appreciating assets3 - Have properties where we enjoy vacationing that we can stay at when we go to do maintenance (probably 2 areas).What resources would you recommend for someone just starting out who has these specific goals?

I appreciate your thoughtsSorry for another question, I still beginning my searches about this subject, in this case do you have a LLC holding managing all other companies or all of your companies are totally independent?
