I routinely monitor my STR 600 miles away from me.

If you work the valuations out right you can purchase a duplex with your 1031 exchange that will allow you to move into one half immediately again. 

After they moved in, we started to get some mild complains from our neighbors (for the rented unit which was our primary residence until we moved out in another house a few miles away). 1.

I really wanted to try finding a duplex that i could immediately rent out the lower half rather then buy a SFH and have a higher mortgage overallHow did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

@Kayla M.Have your agent check in a mile or half mile radius for other investors in the area and try to reach out.

The property has an amazing creek canyon (attached photo) is 5 miles from all the major attractions to Yosemite, and 7 miles from a lake.

I am a current university student with about a year and a half left, who has been interested in finance and real estate for a long time!

A local couple who’se combined income is 300K and who sponsored the family’s immigration to US is willing to be co-signers for the family of 5.I am thinking that Party2 will put more miles on the house and may be harder to deal with in case of any complaints or eviction, though I am not an experienced landlord so I am not sure what are the factors to evaluate or what all can go wrong?

Exemptions to getting a 2nd FHA loan per HUD handbook are:-Job relocation 100 miles away or in another state-Increase in family size-Vacating a jointly owned home (ie - divorce or the like)

A few years ago one of the investors who had multiple properties in Manhatan Beach CA, then Phoenix AZ, who has been doing it for 30-40 years told me: " A property does not really cash flow till its paid off"Honestly, I am looking at my properties, and half of my properties cash flow anywhere from 800-1k, but the remaining dont cash flow at all..Honestly, I cant say that even those that do cash flow 800-1k per month do not really make a big impact because a tenant moves out, I have to clean/fix, etc.
