A question i have is with the talks of mortgage rates going up in the near future do you think I should refi sooner rather than later or is there another more creative strategy out there?

After reading so many stories of success here on the site and really thinking pretty heavily on my future I had moved to the conclusion of renting out the home rather than “house-hacking” or making the home my primary residence.

In the near future, you might be interested in... this one.

In the future, have your buyers sign a buyer's agency contract with you before showing them any houses.

Would that be OK I would still accept rent and do depreciation etc but my daughter would live there and pay rent.Then in future could I 1031 exchange that SFR again if daughter  moves?

If 20% is enough, my next concern is how to sell the property in the future.

The more people you meet the more likely you'll meet someone who can mentor you or trust you to partner with you for future deals.
