I am in the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre area and I am a new landlord, having purchased my first rental property about two and a half years ago.

And what is your price range on the purchase price?

Hi Jonathan, what is your buying criteria in GA and what counties are you looking to purchase in?

You can indefinitely defer the tax and use it to purchase nicer property/properties, as well as not have to recapture any depreciation.

Typical equity build up time is 5 years, depending on your market.But can you purchase another rental using your own capital?

Has anyone purchased Real Estate with cryptocurrency?

If you want to combine two or more lesser sales into one higher purchase that is fine as long as your purchase meets the timing requirements for each sale.  

Purchased a little too high at the buy (I knew it at the time too), does a little better than breaking even on cashflow, and took too long to rehab.

It's calculated as the ratio of your total loan amount (loan amount for purchase + loan amount for your rehab) to your total costs (purchase price + rehab budget). 95% is a good target.Avoid application and other upfront/junk fees. 

I specifically want to call out one of their Senior Accounts Associate, Charlotte Cunningham, who helped me through the process on my first purchase as I needed to buy a sizable amount of furniture quickly and she was able to help me make moves quickly...and didn't make me feel bad whatsoever when I pulled back a few items at the last minute I was able to find them cheaper elsewhere.
