My wheelehouse is long term management of investment properties, but I do have a good relationship with a loca Chattanooga broker who helps investors in the area.

Quote from @Ben Trageser: If you live in your short-term rental (STR) property in a future year after claiming depreciation, depreciation recapture does not occur immediately.

Hello everyone, I have seen in this forum a lot of people who have experience and passion.I am also passionate and want to invest in real estate for the long term.

My biggest aim is to ensure that my long-term success aligns with whoever I invest with's long-term success instead of making their money on the upfront sale and leaving me on my own. 

You are still exiting with a refinance and thus the terms wouldn't change on the exit whether you are buying in cash and then refinancing versus doing a construction loan and then refinancing.

I just learned that builders risk and liability insurance coverage can cease once a CO is issued for a new build.

Hey all,I have been listening to Bigger Pockets content for maybe 4 years and finally have removed myself from some side hustles, have the capital, and grew the...brains to start real estate investing.QUICK BIO:I am based in New Jersey, I work as a marketing/efficiency consultant, and have 2 avenues of real estate investing:Short-Term Rentals: I have 3 short-term rentals using my parents apts in NJ ( 1 of them just launched in Nov) for the past 2yrs near NYC (1 of them just launched in mid-Nov).

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...

@Muhammad Kashif Flipping a property in 6–9 months results in short-term capital gains, taxed as ordinary income (up to 37% federally, plus NJ state taxes up to 10.75%).

It can be a positive for short term rentals (if in a good area) to be near the airport.
