Hello I dont know how to do all the rennovations I see my brothier doing at his rental project, I just feel like at a base leval I dont know anything no matter the history and work, how am I going to buy my first deal when I dont know ****  pleas help me dial it out of this hell  refering to the rehab skills mainlyhow to deduct all deffered maintances and otherwise I make 1k a mouth but what happens when a major rennovation takes place

https://incometax.utah.gov/instructions/married-couplesWe would spend roughly half the year in each location, my husband will spend more time in NV running his business and I will spend more time in UT setting up the basement rental but the majority of our time will hopefully be together.

I'm not factoring revenue from selling the homes in to my analysis - my major concern is reducing operating costs.

I like to buy in central locations near the downtowns and major freeways.

One of the major issues with Zillow is that their Zestimates often rely heavily on a price per square foot basis, which can be quite inaccurate.

Frankly, I wouldn't feel comfortable owning a condo long term due to rising HOA costs and major assessments.

Switching online services is unfortunately not an option because the large majority of house seekers use zillow.

The one place that still imo offers a good combo of being nice, being affordable and having a little upside left imo is the eastern shore of Md, I just bought a flip down there (though it’s pretty hard if not impossible to find great value add even there) but it’s affordable, growing (a lot of people coming from dc, New York, Philly area.) but still not really a big enough market that any major operators are out there yet. 

The positive to having the sink drain side open to the renters eye is they can spot water leaks before they turn into major mold issues and placing a pretty trash can in there gives it a home in a small bathroom.

So like the majority of investors right now, it has hard for me to find cash flowing rentals due to appreciation + high interest rates.
