If it were me, I would probably list my original house for rent to gauge the interest before pulling the trigger on buying the second house you have selected. 

This code allows property owners to avoid paying capital gains taxes when they sell investment property and reinvest the proceeds into another investment property through a qualified intermediary, within a specific timeframe.For context, we support about a dozen luxury STR investors annually acquire Oregon Coastal vacation rentals with the majority of those clients originating from out of the area or State.

The key is to have a detailed scope of work itemizing the materials and grade of materials to ensure that the contractor will complete the job for the original agreed amount.

I'm originally from Maryland (close to DC) and currently live here but willing to move to be local to Norfolk/Hampton Roads if necessary.

It was originally a 4bd 1 ba home (1 room being an office room but classifies as a bedroom) but the original owner added an addition off the back of the house.

I spent more money for the original PMC to manage an empty rental than my current PMC (Logical Property Management) costs to manage an occupied rental.

The seller was the original developer that had owned these properties for decades.There was no underlying flaw or hidden upside that would drive this behavior.
