It takes time to answer calls, book reservations, coordinate cleaners, pay the taxes, build monthly statements, etc.

And you got reserves, grab it.

Plan for Economic Downturns- Emergency Fund: Maintain a cash reserve to cover unexpected expenses and vacancies.- Diversification: Diversify your investments to reduce risk, including different geographic locations and property types.Your excellent credit score, lack of personal debt, and existing portfolio put you in a strong position to expand.

@Ana Vhan - The IRS needs to see the same *taxpayer* on both sides of the exchange.If you file jointly, and your trust is disregarded, you should be able to take title in the name of the trust.Your tax professional can confirm, and your QI can support that decision.

My client is still on the fence and has not yet moved forward with a new-unit reservation--but he wants unrealistic 30% CCR returns (at least for Utah).3.  

Like Dan mentioned some properties can be "management intensive" so make sure this is accounted for when running your numbers and setting aside reserves.

Everyone seems to talk about including the costs of the new mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance & capital reserves, and the vacancy projections when looking at realistic cashflow, which we already do for all the properties in our rental portfolio.But we, like many, cant find properties that are making any cashflow sense right now.

This emailwill contain the letter that confirms the investment information and recorded date, and a copy of the recorded deed.

A most grievous error.Unable to sell on MLS, now going to auction with no reserve. 

One bit of advice is scaling too fast if the market changes and factors out of your control (interest rates, job cuts, rent decline, job loss) have enough in reserves to weather those storms.
