So you're asking a tenant to use a system you have put in place, then when it takes a couple extra days you want to charge the tenant - regardless of the tenant's intent and the fact that they are following the rules you put in place.

Since you've lived in the apartment since 2007, you likely won’t be hit with any capital gains taxes as long as your profit is under the IRS exclusion limit ($250k for single filers or $500k for married couples).

The first chart shows the estimated return on a 100k investment where 100k becomes 193kA couple of questions:1.

Hi Isaac,The best way is to attend local meetups and connect with people within the community.

My realtor suggested offering up to 3% buyer assist to help buyers who might have a hard time coming up with that 20% down since FHA financing isn't available on this house, so we did that a couple days ago and also dropped the price $2,000 to push the listing more towards the top.

Even if one partner takes a more active role, both should understand the motivations and risks associated with investing.It's common for couples to struggle if they're not aligned on investment goals.

They also help point out small things I need to attend to without it being a paid guest complaining.

I have had this goal of buying my first duplex and have talked to real estate investors, realtors, lenders, appraisers and have been encouraged so much to where I am anxious to dive into this.Now that I am 18 I have absolutely no debt, a credit score of 727, I have 28k sitting in a certificate of deposit, a couple years of working consistently under my belt, I’ve also been investing in my Roth IRA, I feel very blessed to be in this situation.I am still in high school, I know it wouldn’t be smart to buy a house right now but something in me is so anxious to buy this house I know I have to have patience but I don’t know if I should start the process of getting pre approved, finding a good investor friendly realtor, lender, preparing my documents or if I should just wait.When analyzing deals in my market I have crystal clear real estate deal criteria my strategy is house hacking a duplex, price range of 500,000-600,00 in Salt lake, Utah! 

Joining local real estate investor meetups, networking, and attending REIAs can help.

A friend of mine attended one and found it incredibly helpful..they even walked through actual deals they've closed in the area.Don't overlook online resources either.
