And could start making a small amount of cashflow and start gaining appreciation with an LTR.Or do we continue to save up and get a better property in a good location with the amenities we would like to offer with an STR?

Yet, both the guest and the host, considered experts, had no problem believing that.Cuba: foreigners can'y own property there, even if they wanted.Venezuela: the last place in the world I would invest but there's a ray of hope with the upcoming elections.

Hi,I'm looking for some advice on how to create the right strategy for a creative financing project:The basics:The seller wants to continue living in his house. 

Unit 1- 3bd, 1 bath, Unit 2- 4bd, 2bath and ADU 2bd, 1 bath.I am eager to grow my portfolio and continue adding properties that I can add value to.

For me if someone has a negative review I typically consider something else, if its positive then I would continue to do my own research but do not really go off of others.

You can still find the 1% rule here, and with all the revitalization and new construction I think things will appreciate well, especially in the next 3-5 years as there continues to be growth.

I'm hoping some 1031 exchange experts might know if it's possible to defer capital gains in this situation: I want to sell several  properties owned by a 3 member (all family) LLC (LLC-A) and sell one property owned by another LLC with different but overlapping membership (LLC-B).Buy a much larger property that would be partially owned by LLC-A and partially owned by LLC-BThe new property is one tax parcel with two addresses.

I would stack cash while looking for a value add opportunity on your current place, or stack cash and continue to analyze deals.

Sergio,In my market, I rehab continuously. 

@Tom Yung is the expert here.Here's what I think.1 day after a year, send the Notice of Barment.
