And, I'm sure that will spark some debate but "I just want to get started" is not a good reason to invest.

@Angie Schwartz holding on to it as a rental for more than 3 years costs you the most meaningful tax break in investing…the homeowner exemption for capital gains.

I hope that helped spark some ideas!

I want to build meaningful relationships and not create a relationship that isn't a take take, but give give.

The PMI, high taxes, and relatively high price-to-rent ratios (failure to meet 1% rule) have made it VERY difficult to find cash flow in a quality area with my current net worth.These struggles have sparked my interest in Indianapolis, although I have very little knowledge of the investing landscape in the city.

“Job growth is strong enough to spur meaningful new household formation, and the net demand level for apartments is also helped by the limited number of households leaving the rental market to make first-time home purchases.”While apartment rents are rising at a significant pace all across the country, the nation’s average price increase is being skewed quite a bit by the surging rents in the western region of the country.

But, hopefully it will spark something.

I am sure there are other topics where you can make a meaningful contribution.PS - I see you didn't provide any examples of a borrower going to jail for selling their residence in the same manner I did.

Maybe it will spark some idea and/or discussions.http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-05-28/homeseller-reluctance-worsens-u-s-inventory-shortage.html

That's not a meaningful question.
