Hello,
Long time lurker and consumer of real estate investing podcasts, books, and other information from BiggerPockets that just closed on my first investment property - a duplex house-hack.   It's all been a whirlw...

I can't find any law about tenant-responsible repair costs during occupancy, only situations on withholding from the security deposit after move-out.

And yes, maybe "be patient and save" is the best move right now, until a good deal comes along.  

If you suffer an attack, breach, or contamination event, you dont want to lose access to your info or be locked out.

With your experience I definetly think you could make the move.

I'm in Phoenix and obviously you can see that there are so many people moving from the west coast states out here to a cheaper and better weather market.

If I remember correctly, there is a provision for properties with Fannie and Freddie loans to be moved to single-member LLCs after 12 months of seasoning if the only member of the LLC is the owner/borrower on the loan. 

*Soon after, I will be moving to the South, where I will purchase a relatively moderate-priced home (less than $350,000), likely a single-family, possibly a duplex.~ I will most likely purchase the first home (multi-family) using a bridge-DSCR loan combo or a FHA203K (3.5-20% down). 

Quote from @Martin Phinney: My wife and I are considering a move from the Seattle area to the Scottsdale area to be closer to her parents.

Finally my closing thought is, is there any downside to moving HSA banks I may not have considered?
