Good luck on your journey and I hope you provide the financial security you hope for to your daughters. 

@Seidy Lasker Wash sale rules apply to stock options if they are deemed "substantially identical" to a security sold at a loss within 30 days, such as options with similar expiration dates or strike prices.

We are now suing them in TX small claims court as the security deposit was not enough to cover the 2 - 3 months rent after they trashed the house. 

So I picked up a few books which includes, "The Book on Investing In Real Estate With No (and Low) Money Down," and "The Book on Rental Property Investing," both by Brandon Turner, which introduced me to the BiggerPockets community.With a decade of experience in property management under my belt, along with my property management certifications and an NC real estate broker’s license (with Broker-In-Charge designation), I’m eager to leverage my background to secure long-term financial stability for my family.

You must keep the tenants security deposit at a bank that physically operates a branch office in the State of NC.  

All mortgages contain a “due on sale clause” which states that the lender may, at its option accelerate (call note due) if a transfer of the property securing the note takes place.  

If you can save up 20% down in a low-cost market like Cleveland, you could use a DSCR loan to secure financing while you still don't have any stable income. 

I can always sell if I change my mind, and hopefully make a few bucks, worst case break even, since I am buying at discounts.With BRRRRR, an often ignored benefit is the security (if done well) of being all in 75-85% of ARV.

Loan interest is deductible based on the use of the loan, not the asset securing the loan.
