Instead of losing 55k they will probably only end up losing $25,000 - $30,000Long term its not a great cash flow property but with some renovations and addition of a parking slab I think long term appreciation is the big goal here.

Long term?

To offset costs, I’m planning to buy a duplex and pursue a house-hacking strategy:1.Rent out one unit as a long-term rental.2.Live in the other unit and rent out the bedrooms as short-term rentals (STRs) through a furnished rental approach.Before diving in, I have a couple of questions:1.Can I use a property for both short-term and long-term rentals?

They said they'd accept a 6 month term instead, but they're not being very forthcoming about what their sales record has been (I asked for the last 12 months just to get an idea, but they ignored the question :( ) and I'm getting a not-so-great feeling about working with them....The home is 2-stories, attached garage, 4bd 3ba, 2269 sqft and sits on a corner lot with a huge backyard (lot is approx .13 acres or 5662.8 sqft).

@Lexi Blocksom If the burden of holding the property outweighs the long-term gains, a 1031 exchange allows you to defer all taxes, and you won’t have to recapture depreciation.This option enables you to use the deferred tax benefits to purchase nicer properties in areas with greater growth potential.Once you complete your exchange, you can immediately do a cash-out refinance if you need access to some cash, tax-free.

Always want to use the 1% rule and seeing the long term potential is my sweet spot.

I recommend targeting emerging neighborhoods with strong long-term growth potential, where property prices are still affordable but demand is on the rise.

My exit strategy is to refinance into a Longterm USDA loan, after the Tax Map Key is issued in 10-24months.I plan on farming crops on the land.

What terms is he offering (monthly payments, amortization, balloon, etc.?

I am interested in potentially buying a trailer park as the investment is in the land and the tenants rent the lot, bringing their own asset (mobile home) to the location and typically, they stay for the long term. any invoice for a new real estate investor trying to get into this business?
