Your best bet is to consult with your accountant directly so they can explain to you exactly what documents they will need from you.Good luck!!

They always get contacted by investors looking for deals and a realtor can help the entire process be more trustworthy and smoother than some random person on FB.I myself am a realtor here in Houston with a buyers list I have developed over my last five years of being in the investment real estate space.

I bet since you spend a week there you probably are in this 5k  now if you give up you wasted that money.

If you are thinking of buying and holding, Pueblo West is your best bet.

bridge would be your best bet from a private lender 

Admittedly I am new-er to the Valley, but from driving all over it, it seems that the West Valley is going crazy...they are building as fast as they can. 2 new chip factories and tilt-ups everywhere.I'd bet on the West Valley if it were me....

In fact, there are even financial markets that specifically bet on future levels of the Fed Funds Rate (unsurprisingly called "Fed Funds Futures").These futures correlate very well with certain bond yields which, in turn, correlate very well with mortgage rate movement.

I am betting that those with the biggest regrets are those that bought at the wrong time expecting COVID level occupancy was normal and those that didn't take the time to learn what it takes to run a successful STR.

Do not go and invest out of state because people come into the forum and try to convince you to work with them on these goals (so ridiculous), you aren't ready for that and you have a good foundation somewhat locally.Your best bet, if you can't move, is to keep investing outside of New Jersey and stay close to your current property.

Additionally, always know that there is of yet a trustworthy solid company that does this and if they were they would be very selective.
