I am still trying to figure out my buy box, but long term rentals feels like the right strategy for us.   

This kind of move could really lower the barrier for people trying to get started in real estate investment.By the way, if you're into lifestyle topics or investing long-term in your well-being, I recently read a theraface depuffing wand review on a site that also covers a lot of beauty and health trends.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

Assuming you are both working and the rentals are long-term, rental losses up to $25,000 can offset W-2 income if your MAGI is under $150,000, with excess losses carried forward.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

I'm still using it for flips and other investments but not trying to be long HELOC loans as 10% is still expensive money.If you want to talk more, I'd be happy to have a conversation.

Those are long plays for me.

Not all homes are great long term rentals! 

Hi BP Community,First time writer, long time listener! 

My short term goal is to start investing in single family homes/duplexes within 100 miles of Boise as long term rentals.

Better to keep rent 5-10% below market, but keep a tenant long-term.If you can handle all this, you MIGHT be ready to be a real estate mogul.Otherwise, you may want to get out of your own way and hire a PMC to manage your property better.Let us know how this goes before you continue dreaming about anything else:)
