@Sara Donohue I don't recommend buying land if there's not an actionable plan whereby the buyer can build.

Do you have recommendations on how to find lenders who are willing to work with first-time investors on rehab projects?

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

I recommend that you engage with a real estate accountant to ensure you set everything up properly. 

Hi Evan,I would recommend annual rent increases that align with cost of living - assuming you are currently at or near market.Residents typically expect a small increase and it's better to do it each year, rather than getting behind and having to do a large increase all at once.

I would not recommend going more than one full month behind.

Let me know if you need recommendations!

Any thoughts or recommendations from fellow investors. 

Hi I am a current homeowner and want to get a 2nd property for short term rental.I am wondering what would be the best course of action in terms of getting a loan for an investment property.Would you recommend getting a FHA loan or other conventional loan and living in the property for 1 year before renting it out and then renting out our current home or getting an investment loan and start to rent out the investment property?

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
