I prefer to do online.

Personally, I'd prefer getting in with the Boston market over Jersey, and would not count of prices dropping drastically anytime soon.

I also lived in NV and TX for some time, and would prefer that climate, but need to make sure the financials make sense there. 

I also don't love the search bar on Rabbu, and prefer using specific comps.

Would obviously have preferred to use a third party but this accomplishes exactly what I need - a birds eye view of the profitability each month without have to re-enter operational and tenant data into my own system when the property manager is already tracking this information. 

If you are trying to maximize space you may want to consider convertible sofas and/or one that has a pull out option.As far as material my preference would be a darker neutral color microfiber that would be easier to clean.Possibly most important is looking for one that is commercial grade for durability.

In contrast, private lenders focus more on the value of the asset, offering faster, more flexible loans for projects like fix-and-flips or rentals, which can be crucial in time-sensitive deals.It really boils down to your priorities and preferences.

This balanced approach meets your financial goals, diversifies risk, and aligns with your preference for conservative real estate investments.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

The wife and kids would prefer to stay. :)   I'll likely do the HELOC and not worry about the extra taxes on gains over $500k when I finally do sell someday. 

I prefered two or three more years that I can work and save money to buy a house ( $300k) and car (30k) with cash.
