Hello, So I saw that most places categorize rentals as just str or long term, mtr is just another option investors came up with but in the eyes of the state it’s not recognized with its own rules and regulations.

However, an additional amount should be set aside for CapEx and repairs.While the 50% rule provides a useful starting point, it’s essential to recognize that it primarily covers operating expenses and not CapEx or repairs.

I used to own three rentals in Seattle but after 2012 when the prices got too high I realized that sophisticated buy-and-hold investors invest where the numbers make sense with cash flow, not appreciation (gambling).

But knowing what you are doing should be a part of investing anywhere -otherwise it is gambling and not investing. 

Many states --- including Pennsylvania --- recognize what is commonly known as "participation theory," which holds owners/officers personally liable for the corporation's torts if they participate in them.

Not, hey lets gamble since I love risk with 100k or more, and lets put my personal house, and car etc on line.

You essentially have essentially cast a super wide net and are going to get a ton of sales responses, but what I gather from your post that what you really need is a mentor/like minded investor to help hone in on recognizing good deals, narrowing your focus and absolutely protecting your capital.   

Having a good wholesaler is essential.As we expand into other ventures, I will continue to work with wholesalers, recognizing their crucial role in the real estate industry.PS.

Instead of fearing a crash, we should recognize this period as an opportunity for the market to regain balance and for potential buyers to find more reasonable pricing.

The longer you hold onto it, the more your costs add up, the more costs you have to recover, and the fewer funds you have available to use to recover them with.Think of it like playing Poker (not because it's gambling...REI shouldn't be gambling).
