Not at night per se, but you won't have control of your time the way you sort of do now.

Just as Rich Dad is not “per se” is not a R.E. book but a frame of mind book I like “The Magic of Thinking Big” by David SchwartzFavorite Business book?

Not sure if the furnished or vacation rental model will work well in the SE but it's something to think about.

Not saying that it's an incorrect view per se but rather an incomplete one...and one that doesn't exactly pertain to my situation.  

In general it is going to be hard to find properties that meet the 2% rule...though they are out there in the cheaper condos in Temple Hills, Suitland, SE DC on the south/east side of the river.  

My husband and I are fairly new to SE Houston.  

In terms of my location in the NE, the SE area of Florida makes the most sense - although the emerald coast was extremely tempting.

Depending on how you are fund your flips, I would say anything north of the 30k mark in working capital will allow you to get in on flips in PG or SE DC markets. 

Sales are slowing and prices are flat in several more expensive areas around SE Michigan now.

I am looking to take advantage of cost seg for a  2 unit MF property - which has tenants for long term rental  (let's call this property A)I know that in order to take advantage of cost segregation, there are no specific "status qualifications" per se, but certain conditions and considerations should be met such as 1) having a real estate prof status (i.e., spending more than 50% of working time & 750hrs pr yr in RE business) or 2) short-term rental status, rentals with a duration of less than 30 dys)I do not qualify with a RE prof status, but I will be acquiring another property with the purpose of having it for short term rentals (property B), please note that this property is outside of the U.S., so my question is: I don't qualify as a RE professional status, but can I use the acquisition of the short term/property B as my "short term rental tax loophole" for the purpose of the cost seg on property A?
