That’s the reality of our lives these days.

First, you just need to qualify either for REPS, or the property can be an STR (with an average stay of a 7 day or less), you just need one or the other, you don't need both. 

At least I got good appreciation from those properties.These days, many state governments are trying to force more landlords to accept Section 8. one of my clients in the deep south was mentioning in her section 8 portfolios she manages for investors.

My lawyer has drafted a month to month lease agreement and an annual lease agreement for residential tenants.You guys are going to do awesome, you both will be looking back one day at the memories you made.

Your sales agreement should say they have 30 days to do a well. 

I was early, but I do now think they will pause cuts starting with their next meeting on January 29th (just 9 days after the inauguration).Folks in the press are already calling this month’s rate cut a “hawkish cut,” meaning that Fed Chair Jerome Powell will take time in his press conference tomorrow to downplay the speed at which the Fed will cut rates in 2025.

The exchange entity must remain the same, meaning the ADU ownership should mirror that of the relinquished property.Construction exchanges require improvements to be completed within 180 days, and the total value must match or exceed the property being sold.

Do you want to buy and hold for long run appreciation, do you want day 1 cashflow, are you wanting to flip and stair-step into higher value properties, the list goes on. 

Also, networking with local contractors and lenders now will save you time when you're ready to move on a deal.When you visit, try to walk neighborhoods at different times of the day, chat with locals, and take note of any development projects or signs of growth.

If I was in your shoes I would find ways to streamline your day job so that you are not spending as much time in that role.
