My vision for CountOnCam LLC is to be a company that would like to provide a shared housing experience for women and children, immigrants, and low income families.

@Charles Evans Zelle and Venmo do not provide the same protections as a third-party rent payment portal.

Based on the information provided, you can only claim a capital loss when you actually sell or dispose of your REIT investment, not when the REIT simply returns a portion of your principal.

We're willing to live almost anywhere in the greater Sacramento area based on what we can afford, provided of course that the property is in a decent neighborhood that has a good chance of attracting responsible tenants.As for budget, I believe we could get a conventional loan for properties up to $600k, but my strong preference is to find a distressed property (or seller!)

Does it still provide effective results?

Could the seller provide you with a note for the down payment and you pay him back?

If we had hundreds of loans out, we’d have enough monthly income to aggregate the payments into additional loans—but we don’t.If you do this, your note will have to have a compounding clause in it, provided by your lending attorney.

Also consider networking with investors active in those areas who can provide insight on what’s working.

@Cosmo DePinto, I can provide further insight on behalf of my market.

Benefit – Boilers tend to last longer and provide even, comfortable heat, but forced air allows for central A/C, which can be a selling point for tenants.
