My wife is extremely risk averse so this slowly built her confidence in us leveraging my professional skill sets outside of the W2 for greater financial gain. 

Hi all,My sister needs some work done on a SF rental she has- had two quotes come out from the tail end of last year but haven't gotten to it yet due to life getting in the way- are there any professional gutter/roofers in Cincinnati (Anderson/Eastgate area) anyone here would recommend. 

I've requested a handful of professionals in my area, just waiting on responses from them. 

We are/becoming real estate professionals and seeking to FIRE.

Has anyone found a good source to learn or is it best to learn from a 1031 exchange professional?

Maybe you’ll want to rent from now until May on a longer term lease, then switch to Airbnb type short term rentals so you can enjoy the cabin personally too.I also look at craigslist roommate / sublet prices to see if I can make more money renting the house furnished, by the room, to working professionals on 6-12+ month leases.

These guys take care of all my rentals, and I can not stress enough how professional, efficient, and trustworthy they are.

I would do a thorough title search.As always, seek professional advice.

Jose,Here is a list of "hidden costs" that may surprise you if you haven't been through this before:Closing costs when you purchase the propertyTitle Insurance Policies for you (and the lender if there is one)Miscellaneous closing fee's (survey, recording, etc)Loan origination feesHolding costs (during the time that you own the property)Builders risk and Liability insurance policy premiumsProperty taxesHOA feesUtility usage chargesBuilding permit costsDumpster / hauling chargesLoan interestClosing costs when you sell the propertyStaging (if applicable)Realtors feeClosing costs (depending on where the property is, this could be a huge cost) Professional fees for accounting, legal and taxesCapital gains tax on your profitI hope this helps you, and good luck!

I know I can rent it for 2+ times my mortgage but I also stand to make good profit if I sell, which is why I want to have a conversation with the right legal professionals to help make a good decision.
