I hope to set this up so that I can continue my investing by house hacking when I move to my new job location upon graduation and begin building my portfolio.If anyone could provide advice for finding good property managers that are far away from me and locations as well.

New Britain, Connecticut 3-family flip updateThe roof was completed last Friday (see pictures below)Painting continues on the 3rd floor apartment and common areas.

If your plan involves continuing in real estate investing and you wanted to sell so you could buy a better producing piece of investment real estate then the 1031 would accomplish the same thing. 

The plan is to buy a couple buy and hold single family homes that maximize cash flow and hopefully appreciate nicely over time, and continue to add to our portfolio over time. 

Most apartment owners don’t want to chase off renters by continually raising rents, he said, but their own costs were rising and many properties had years of deferred maintenance during the Great Recession.

But from all of that  I do know that buy and hold is the direction I want to go in for the long-termI work full time and would like to continue working while investing, credit is not a problem for me so am sure I can secure a loan but money down is what I am working on for my very first rental.

Have you found it easier to work with local banks now that you have a syndication under your belt or does that continue to be a challenge?

@Logan Jorns, if I understand you correctly, I think you want to continue with the flipping business, but you're also looking for a way to defer paying capital gains taxes without having to wait two years to sell, correct? 

I understand that we bring different skillsets to the table and maybe my learning curve will be a little sharper than others, but I expect to be able to get this to some degree at some point.Thanks for your continued patience with me on my quest to save my ***, time and money.Much love.

I would like to tap into the equity of one or two of them so I can continue to expand my portfolio.
