@Allison Cutlip I’d choose whatever account has the most flexibility and the least amount of fees.

I'm Pratik Patel, a healthcare professional excited to join the BiggerPockets community.

Then I would either go to your GC with the info, or go directly to your subs (licensed electrician etc.) with the info.

I have recently been made aware that I get straight to business without really concerning myself for the sellers side of the story and when you have the sellers problems, goals, etc.

A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

For the next 10 months (40 weeks) you spend a fairly reasonable 5 hours a week marketing, communicating with guests and your property manager and bookkeeping.

While the market can go up or down in either investment, Real Estate is the only one of the two that offers income opportunities through rental income, that stocks don't, and can often help ride out the storm of market fluxes.Also, the Greater Phoenix market (that includes Scottsdale) historically nets 65K+ Californians per year. 

I have other assets in Canada but I looking at bringing everything here when the exchange rate is better.

(You said you plan to buy it for the amount of the loan, not the value of the property.).

Would love to form connections through this site !
