It feels premature to sign a purchase agreement without agreeing on a price or even seeing the property.

Agreed with everyone here - You're headed in a good direction here.

Once it's placed into services as a rental, the property taxes will be a rental expense.I agree with Gregory above and speak with the company he has his mortgage with.

I get the feeling you don't enjoy being a landlord, so I agree that you should consider selling and investing in something that doesn't include tenants and toilets.

Hey Justin, I agree with what others have said—you don’t need a license to become a real estate investor or entrepreneur.

I think most people would agree that a single family home is better than a condo for a long term rental.

So we agreed to $170k.

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

After 20 years in the investing game, plus working as an investor-friendly agent, I’ve learned that hesitation can feel like a big hurdle but often ends up being the push you need once you break through it.I’m personally based in San Diego, California, and licensed here, but I’ve also looked into projects across the country with folks who sought better cash flow.

I agree with @Becca F. that hard money rates scare me.
