Newly licensed real estate agent in MA.

I was going to approach it this way until my cousin (who is in the middle of doing his 5th deal) told me that this was the type of deal he did in his first property and it helped launch him quickly into his 2nd property.

I am having trouble finding someone to finance it through a newly formed LLC. 

What do you do to ensure that the tenant is responsible for security deposit disputes since that is the largest reason for owner lawsuitsHow familiar are you with the newly changed laws that can affect you the owner if they are not used correctly?

-- Unless I misread your question, a dated interior will certainly affect your offer price... you can't expect a newly built home being sold for the same price as an older (not updated) home with the same foot print.

I do not have specific but would imagine if they were relatively newly renovated it would have come up.

I see a ton of notes on Paperstac priced as performing with less than 1 year’s worth of payment history or worse they are newly reperforming priced as performing.

I know if my management company we would never, ever launch $10K of work without first having the owner's funds in hand.

It wasn't a sales webinar, but I found it for me, a newly active landlord or about to be, really informative. 

It is passive income.Not sure why you are asking business or investment.Your CPA should take care of any elections on your taxes.You don't really need to log hours used on real estate unless you are try to classify yourself as a real estate professional.Some month I do next to nothing, other months I might need to text my handyman to make a repair or to schedule him to rehab a newly acquired property.
