@Greta Andrews,They both won't be able to serve the same purpose, let's compare the two.Save money: 100% of your contributions to an IRA are available for you invest from the day one.

We’ve served 3k owners and 5k renters, yet we only have about 120 negative reviews--about 80% of which are from tenants. 

They can ask you to serve notice so one unit (or both) are vacant at the time of possession, but if you agree to that make sure you have a large deposit and some of that is not refundable if the buyer backs out as you will need it to cover the lost rent.

I serve a couple hundred clients who live in CA and they prefer to invest passively in real estate in areas like Texas, Oklahoma, Little Rock, AR and Memphis, TN.

The village was originally just worker housing for all of the servants and businesses that served the Biltmore, and over time became a trendy & fancy little town just outside the gates.

Perhaps PREIT would've been better served waiting for some tenant commitments before branding the mall the Fashion District.

This strategy has served me well for all my purchases.

That at least serves notice and gets the clock moving. 

Managing flips or Airbnbs is a very hands-on experience, while investing in syndications or serving as a passive partner is much less so.

In my state, the new landlord is required by law to serve a change of landlord notice within 15 days of assuming ownership.
