Start reading and asking questions or answering questions as your experience dictates on the forums and get involved.

If so, make sure to put them into the account your landlord tenant laws dictate - and if you haven't read them yet, do so now.When your wife goes to the site to collect rent, have a letter with her giving the proper address to send rent, or the web address, or however you have it set up.

@Ryan Lam-  thanks -you will need a loan and  in order to get one - you will need  employment / income  ...once you have a job offer - you should be able to get a loan ...the income you earn and the previaling interest rates  will  dictate how much of a loan you can obtain - good luck

Would the capital gains from selling an investment property held in a particular LLC be eligible for a 1031 exchange fund if it is applied to a down payment on a commercial development owned by same LLC that broke ground within the time limits dictated by this IRS programFor instance, if an office building is sold for 2M resulting in a 750k capital gain, could that 750k be earmarked and applied to help finance a 5M new commercial mixed-use development that is in planning stages by same LLC and set to break ground within the coming years.

This will be dictated in how long it will take you to find a new tenant and the now 'tenant(s)' would be responsible for rent up to and including the start of the new lease however, I don't believe you can charge for anything that would have fallen outside of the lease in any instance.

If so, what does the strategy dictate?

The structure of the deal might dictate the price a seller will accept.Take for example a 10 unit building.4 options typically lowest to highest price offered:1.

I used the word 'closing cost' because on the closing documents it's all lumped in together in the final amount needed to close, but you're right - many of those costs are dictated by taxes and closing date, hoa, etc.

The lease would dictate all of this, but I've found that tenants could use visual reminders as to the rules. apparently no one does this?

Cash flow, on the other hand, is much more easy to control and depend on, because a lot of it is dictated by choices you make, not on how the market behaves 5-10 years from now.At first blush, it seems like your current property could work for you both ways, but I noted that you said you'd net $500 without rental expenses.
