Marketing-Ready Design – Your rental should look as good on camera as it does in person.

To clarify, in MN a person must be a licensed to perform at-charge Property Management services, for others, on a standard commerce basis. 

@Ben Callahan, you could find a partner who is looking to buy a similar property, be a co-signer to your partner, and have that person live in it and be a primary resident. 

Personally I like the work part and building up to something.

Some people love that as the initial numbers look good, but probably over the long term they get tired of the common issues landlords face.It's not that hard typically to find a move in ready property, or even to find one that needs minor repairs, where you can capture the equity yourself vs the person selling it to you. 

I didn't realize it at the time but through my first few jobs I was fortunate to work alongside teams who were true real estate finance experts and learning through observation was critical to my personal real estate investing growth. 

@Cameron NordinA cost segregation study accelerates depreciation by classifying certain building components as personal property or land improvements, allowing them to be depreciated over shorter recovery periods (e.g., 5, 7, or 15 years instead of 27.5 or 39 years).By accelerating depreciation, cost segregation lowers your tax basis more quickly than standard straight-line depreciation.

Then find out from the person on title, not the assignor, what the assignor promised or has in writing as an agreement.

I personally want to learn from those with experience.

I’ve personally received a plethora of value from the BP podcasts as well as the connections I’ve made through BP.
