Will completely be done with a W-2 job by 2023 but will consider practicing for 1-3 months per year to maintain skills and CME.

Most renters cannot (or will not) take proper care of a pool.So...if you decide to go for a pool property, make sure you have it maintained...and charge it to the tenant.

Here’s how I’m currently thinking about it:The interest rate on my existing property is 3.5%, so I’d like to maintain that rate rather than refinancing the entire loan.

However, alternatives like a Self-Directed IRA (SDIRA), a 60-Day Rollover, or a Roth IRA Conversion can help you avoid penalties.A SDIRA allows you to invest directly in real estate while maintaining the tax advantages of your IRA.

Properly maintains/doesn't damage the property.3.

Now maybe I am wrong and all the POH homes are spectacular and very well maintained with new roofs, furnaces and no water leaks. 

It’s a great reminder to trust your own due diligence and not let others make critical decisions for you, like hiring a property manager.For future investments, building a trusted team and maintaining direct oversight is key, even with remote deals.

If you spend time learning how to manage well, your income will increase, you'll save time, and you'll maintain your sanity with the courage to expand.

To maintain control and avoid being locked into larger deals, consider directly owning replacement properties or exploring a partial 1031 exchange while carefully structuring syndication investments.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

If I were a new investor, I would be stoked to step up and buy a turnkey property, under management, with tenants, and no out of pocket costs because all the work was done previously, at a cap rate of roughly 8%.When I was in Indy I also had the opportunity to meet in person with my realtor, Tyler Lingle, and we had a great conversation about all things RE and Indy.
