Securing a rental property is an exciting venture, but gathering the down payment can feel like a mountain to climb.

I just sent a message to my property management company now asking if it's customary for them to list the rental on MLS.Also, regarding the rental price; Not only have I completed the lanai mesh, installed blinds and added a whole-house water conditioning system, but I'm also including the Internet connection and the security system in the advertised asking price which I believe should be worth it. 

the good thing about RE is .... it's easiest way to print money.but when you print it, you have to pay tax.if you want to defer it, then you go to another rabbit hole.you could also do something like this.lets say yourcapital gain is 1 Milyour primary is 1Mil with equity 500k.1031 your rental to another location where you wanna liveSell your primary tax free first 500kthen move to that rental home for forever after rented for two years.Lot of options!

How did you choose that location and who is guiding you in that area to do MTR?

Our living expense needs are pretty well handled by Social Security and pensions, so there is no crisis at hand.First unit is a $410k listing with no mortgage.

As mentioned above, S8 properties tend to be in bad locations.

Make sure to reach out to one with real estate experience as location is not longer an issue.

Some will have offers on them, others may not fit the criteria you gave him (location, price, size, type of house, etc). 

Trying to keep things as simple and as much data/admin work as centrally located as possible.Any feedback about either/both platforms is appreciated!

The high visibility of listings on these platforms often leads to intense competition, making it challenging to secure deals that align with your investment criteria.I highly recommend identifying a target market and cultivating relationships with local wholesalers operating in that area.
