Hi David, I’m based in Greenville and would love to connect and help you explore opportunities in the area.

Terms are usually based on the deal, and your overall profile.

Quote from @Sean O'Keefe: Quote from @Tom Gorrell: We have 3 rentals in CA and one in Kentucky (total value about 2.5 M)some W2 incomesome pension incomesome syndication income and some from a business (s corp) Based on what you say, it feels like $3k - $4k but would need more info on how frequently you meet with CPA outside of Jan - Apr when you are filing and if this includes tax strategy. 

I'm based in Austin and currently have properties in Houston and Killeen. 

.- Build a Strong Buyers List EarlyA solid buyers list is your safety net.

NE Minneapolis has strong rental demand, but no area is hot in the Winter.

We are looking at both a condo and also a home that are near the base. 

If it's in your name you can look into the potential for a HELOC or potentially refinance to pull out some of the equity you've created, but you'll need to do the math to see if you're payments will increase based on the new loan terms.

Keep in mind all these markets are very different than the Cambridge area in terms of tenant base, household income, transit, etc.Happy to connect if you'd like to chat more!

Based on my experience, the key to success is screening for good tenants and managing them well.
