Hi Linda,Lots of great advice from @Carla Gordon @Brian Schroeder @Jay Thomas Specifically I think it's always smart to check out FF Traveler sear https://www.furnishedfinder.com/housing/New-York/New-York) and Airbnb/VRBO for 30+ days stays to gauge what sort of similar properties are currently out there!

Happy to share more specific ideas!

That is "true"....Here is the bottom line, and I am going to skip over the entire foreclosure process unless someone specifically asks. 

Consider defining clear roles, ownership percentages, and responsibilities upfront, and ensure you’re protected if the partnership doesn’t work out.Since you already own properties, it might be worth consulting a CPA who specializes in real estate for advice on tax strategies specific to your situation.

I try to attend 1-2 meetings a week, and there are a few wholesaler specific meetups that you should try to attend.

Right now I am just looking at my options, nowhere specific too specific.

More specifically, you can refi out of your name and into a LLC only your wife owns. 

There are also Graduate Degrees specific to Real Estate (Johns Hopkins offers and M.S. in Real Estate and Infrastructure).

For a long term investor:Would it make sense if you could buy the home at a steep discount and then let the owner stay rent free for a specific period of time?

My strategy incorporates asset protection measures like LLCs, specific trusts as well as professional property management to spread risk and ensure quality operations.As well as using tax codes to my benfiitSection 179, IRC Section 162, Cost Segregation and Bonus Depreciation and later 1031 them out for larger projects.
