I'm looking at purchasing a small multi-family rental property in the Allentown or Philadelphia area, and I plan to use the BRRRR strategy.I'm struggling with the best way to analyze potential properties to ensure a solid ARV and would love any advice on effective tools or methods you use.

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $60,000 purchased this distressed duplex using owner financing for $240K and a $60K hard money loan for renovations.

Assuming you purchased in your IRA for cash as most do, then there's nothing to deduct or depreciate because the income is non-taxable inside the IRA already.

You are definitely going to want to get a lawyer and as soon as possible.This will sound harsh.In your story, you have made a number of very poor decisions about how you purchased and managed this property. 

If I act as my own realtor and end up purchasing a property and receive a commission does the broker I'm affiliated with get a piece of that?

HI Matt,You don't necessarily need to be a resident to purchase real estate in the US.

If you’re financing your purchase, it's helpful to explore mortgage options tailored to the area—this guide provides useful insights.

Unless y'all have an incredible W2 to help with the purchase, you will not find something that "works" in the Triangle and in a good/safe location.
