For example, if your driveway only fits two cars, you need to know if tenants plan to bring several vehicles, as this could lead to parking violations and HOA fines.Don’t forget to screen pets, too!

Sharing this idea in case others can comment on it.Hi @Joaquin Camarasa, hope everything is fine.Investing with a vehicle like a Spanish SL (equivalent of an LLC in the US) would be interesting to research as from that moment it doesn't matter if you are a US citizen or living still in the US.

I would not envy investors who participate in this vehicle when the team has not track record of success with it. 

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

Unfortunately, it's now going to get more complicated:(There are two types of approaches PMCs use to bill for maintenance:1) In-house ServiceTechs on the payroll, so owners are billed for their time by the hour.While the labor charges above are useful, they don't cover the true costs a PMC incurs, like:- Payroll costs for FICA, Social Security, Medicare, etc. that typically add 25-40% to the hourly rate- Medical insurance costs for the worker- Payroll processing costs to handle all of the above- Liability insurance costs in case worker damages something or injures someone- Workman's Compensation insurance- Costs of vehicles and tools- and more...Typically the management contract will disclose the total hourly rate an owner will be charged.

I don't think real estate is great there, however, as an investment vehicle. 

Westchester, although one of the hottest markets, has a ton of upside with opportunities for both cash-flow and equity. 2-4 family properties in Westchester are the 2nd most affordable in the NYC Metropolitan area (next to Suffolk County) making it easier to find cashflow opportunities when compared to the boroughs and other suburbs like Nassau.A client of ours in Westchester recently purchased a < $800K 2-family with a detached 3-car garage which brings in additional rental income - from a local business owner with commercial vehicles.

To throw a wrench into things, if we were talking about real property/structures that were being short term rented, it's possible/likely that your depreciation period would be 39 years, not 27.5.However, a vehicle - which is what an RV is, regardless of how you're using it - is 5 year property.

Can anyone tell me if this is a genuine scam or is this a viable program to use a vehicle to start my Real Estate Investing journey.

If that's not an option, I would recommend he look into his state and local municipalities' rules on how to handle abandoned vehicles.
