NO, your realtor is not part of your team, all they care about is making the sale.

Going to have to reduce to cut down on vacancy. 

After first rate cut....

The 2nd just told me she couldn’t afford it because was taking care of her father and going to school.

I am a handyman with a lot of experience in residential and commercial maintenance, so I would like to be close to my first investments so I could take care of the management and repairs myself.

They have answered your question pretty well here, but I would just be sure to track your basis very carefully when looking to doing multiple 1031 exchanges with depreciation.

Sometimes a face-to-face conversation can cut through the red tape faster than any paperwork shuffle.It might feel like the city's operating without accountability, but there are folks within the system who genuinely want to help - you just have to find them.

buying a random property on Zillow and making light cosmetic upgrades will not cut it in today's market.happy to answer any questions you have.

Avoid personal use of the property, as it can limit deductions, and be careful to correctly classify repairs versus capital improvements, as improvements must be depreciated.
