I was in a hurry bc we were in a place that wasnt suitable to live in.

Many of my other investors want to see each and every single deal and so this is not a suitable vehicle for them.   

Brandon Turner was talking in one of his webinars about how the LA market has really high prices compared to other parts of the country, thus it is a tough market to enter as an beginning investor with very little leverage.I am seeking ways to find the markets that are suitable for entry level investors.

Even with friends and relatives you need to know that they are suitable for the investment being offered.

I was in a forward 1031 exchange and could not find a suitable replacement property and the Qualified Intermediary would not refund my monies despite not having to do the exchange.

@Beth Matherne Hi beth, i work for a large appraisal firm and we have appraised plenty of houses with a duplex & single family on the same lot. the appraiser can make it work but you will pay more for the appraisal due to complexity & it may take a while for an experienced enough appraiser to accept the order. they can extend distance and go back in time to find suitable comps.

I'm going to take my gains and find a more suitable investment property. 

By using an extra bedroom or units in a multifamily property to rent, house hacking can turn a home that’s already owned into a property that generates rental income.Here are some common strategies people use when looking for a home to house hack:Multifamily housing where one unit is a primary residence and the remaining units are rented to tenantsSingle-family homes with multiple bedrooms that can be converted into a self-sufficient suite by installing a bathroom and kitchenetteHouses with areas easy to convert to bedrooms, such as homes with a den or playroom that can be turned into an additional bedroomHomes with the basements, attics, or garages already partially remodeled are good candidates for house hackingProperty with a large lot suitable for building an additional dwelling unit (ADU), which is a free standing dwelling similar to a guest home or in-law unitAll the best!

A broker will, or should, vet the note buyer for suitability, even if there is no law in NV like there is in CA in that regard, it should be done.

@Matt RomanoYou can't deduct expenses related to the rental property until the unit is suitable for rent and it is advertised for rent.
