Have they had trouble selling, was it inherited, does it include additional tracts of land, or solid construction traits not advertised. 6) Try to acquire with $5k or less down, and payments low enough to sustain long term in case of long vacancies.

Looking to see if we can build some win/win relationships that will help us both now and in the future!

@Patrick ThomasWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

Whoever you consider working with in the future I highly recommend you thoroughly vet them, and that should include a visit to the market to meet with the team, see their work and the neighborhoods they invest in. 

Truthfully, I'd just hate to see them in which market conditions change, which they may in the near future, and they're stuck with this bad investment losing money that they then couldn't exit all over again.

I would concentrate on finding a way to pull the equity out of your property without selling.Keep a very close eye on future appreciation/equity growth.

If i wanted to move back into one of those rentals and live it in myself, what would happen or should i say, what should i expect to do and happen that year and in the future... do i have to pay back the depreciation that year in taxes? 

I'm going to hire someone.I'm saying in the future - to avoid imperfections like this, to inspect the walls after they are taped, spackled, and PRIMED. 

I used a 401K loan to purchase my first investment property.Some things to consider if doing so - your future paychecks will be lowered to pay back the loan.

Have them in your pocket for the future and the present.
