All the best ones I know are full and not taking new clients.I would encourage you to hit this one hard because they get very busy in a month and they have little to no time for anything other than servicing clients after the Holidays, until May.Real estate lawyer - I use and recommend @Brad Schaeppi.

Airbnb has AirCover--- which any forum will tell is difficult to work with and hit or miss.

I have seen far too many times where these do not hit pro forma due to unexpected problems like theft, crime, etc.And, on top of that you are not even going to be in the US and have no ability to supervise and make sure that the people that you hired (who are not aligned with you) are looking out for your best interests.

How are folks navigating 1031 and high financing rates vs taking capital gains hit and having pure cash on hand to redeploy elsewhere (in my case, rebuilding on my primary residence)?

Hi All, looking for a bit of guidance from my fellow travelers.About to hit 60 and I have left Florida for the NC mountains. 

There’s so much potential in real estate, and with your experience, I’m sure you’ll hit the ground running.This is an amazing community to connect with like-minded individuals and learn from others who have been where you are now.

Your credit will only be hit once if the apps are all within a couple weeks, and this will give you the opportunity to make an apples to apples comparison.

These include accidents (I recently had 2 units destroyed by fire), natural disasters (I have had two units each hit by 2 hurricanes), property management turn over (they sell or stop being as good, I have experienced both), or turn over of team (I am turning over at handyman and I suspect plumber), or just wear n tear of property (slab leak in poor location, sewer pipes rotted out (one unit this month), roof, foundation issue, etc.).  

Sit back and grab some popcorn.I will chop this up into smaller segments, so each one isn't too long of a read and has a central theme.Both Retiring and doing Self Storage, we hit the mark where we both had the funding and the time to invest overseas. 

While the Fed looks to continue their trajectory of cutting short term rates, I suspect the mid and long points of the yield curve (particularly the 10 year, which is what most mortgages go off of) will stay elevated. 10 Yr treasury today is 4.4%, but if it goes up to 5% or 6%, your mortgage will likely be in the 8% or higher level, which then hits CF even more.
