I am just starting to investigate buying my first investment property, and am considering buying out of my state (CA).

I cannot afford for my first investment to not work out in my favor so believe me when I say investigation in my main concern right now.

OWNER assumesno liability to TENANT if such should occur as all products have a useful life and breakdown occasionally"My partner has a signed copy from the VRBO tenant.The way my partner has left it with the tenant is that my partner is investigating the issue and will get back to her.Does anyone have any advice on how to handle this?

They’re under investigation for fraud.

I don't have any experience there, but based on the metrics, it seems like an extremely solid place to investigate. 

The fact that someone wants to arbitrage your property is a sign that it might be a good STR, but you have to investigate. 

I recommend you investigate some syndications.  

Outside of the kry metrics one needs to evaluate when investigating any market, I also created a list of priorities and nice-to-haves.

@Ray T.Hey Ray, I’ve been investigating the LHV as an investment location for a few years- and dipped my toe in last August with a 3 unit near the NIZ on W.

So we are not in agreement.I sent this to my tax accountant https://www.investopedia.com/terms/p/passiveincome.asp.She sent the IRS link to me https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p925.pdfI wonder how your tax accountant treat your private lending interest?
