I personally learned by trial and error as you suggested, but it took years to get any traction and I could have definitely been way ahead if I have leveraged the ability to learn from others who had successfully made it before me.

Call the county or visit property appraiser site, many have calculators.The points should be counted as well as the escrows for taxes and insurance as that is all out of pocket expenses, not financed.

I looked up the most recent form online and visited the state's website and it does mention that starting in 2023, PA conforms to Fed IRC 1031 but it does not say HOW to report it.Can someone PLEASE HELP?!

I'll be visiting Dayton next month...Are there particular areas that are best for investing?

Hi Matan, great you are thinking about investing at this early stage of your career, you are ahead of 90% of doctors, who historically are not the savviest of investors.

So you are saying we should be able to go ahead and refi this property with no issues?  

That’s when the story unfolded and was surprised to l hear of the realtor’s visit.

Because I understood what banks could and couldn't do & what banks would and wouldn't do, regarding pre-foreclosures, I was a step ahead and able to do some pretty amazing things.

You upped a winning offer, then are bringing in someone to have a second visit'?

I don't want to get ahead of myself or be too overconfident, It's always easier said than done of course.
