As with any investment, thorough research and due diligence are essential to making informed decisions and maximizing returns in the competitive real estate market of Spokane, WA.

Thankfully, I discovered valuable resources like appeal a VA decision, which shed light on navigating the system.

I would suggest that you talk to a professional so 1) your financial information is accurate  and lead to good decisions 2) you don't miss out on any tax saving opportunity

What you suggest is factually incorrect.

Other factors that help you make a decision?

So first, it's the decision; is this something serious, or are we just messing around and randomly showing up at the gym here n there to play around until bored. 

If you want to get into the market for the appreciation play and are willing to negatively cash flow a bit you could consider a negative DSCR loan.I’m still very new so my decision would be based on factors that aren’t concrete yet (I.e. my goals) therefore long distance REI isn’t off the table.

Let me know if you once you come to a decision. 

These are emotional decisions you are making.

@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.
