So, again, to me there is not much difference between remotely investing in let's say Vietnam vs the US, because I don't have any intention to move to either location. thanks for the heads up on BRRRR, I'm just at the start of my research, so always happy to hear opinions and information from others.

And we went in eyes wide open, intentionally inveting in class D, not sliding into it as demographics changed. 

While I usually think people have the best intentions, as someone working with you for the first time, it is truly hard not to have the thought cross my mind that the pro forma provided by Jennifer Lucero was inflated by Southern Impression Homes simply to make the sale. 

The house is only in my name at this point, which was intentional when we married, and when we moved out of it as a primary residence to hopefully avoid ex’s gotta financial pursuits.

They usually have a step down on that penalty like 3% year one, 2% year two, 1% year three and so on and so forth.So if you are buying a deal with the intention of rapidly increasing it's value in less than 24 months in order to refinance it and pull your cash out, you might want to go with a credit union for the acquisition financing because FCUs are barred from charging pre payment penalties.I could talk about this for hours about all the nuances but my fingers don't type that fast lol

The intent of 1031 was not to let passive investors get out of taxes.

In 2022 I purchased a 3-bed/2-bath condo outside San Diego for $535,000 with intentions to buy and hold.

Yes they set up a crowdfund and bought thousands of defaulted loans with the intent of getting them re-performing again.
