Purchase price: $360,000 Cash invested: $96,000 Purchased my first investment property in summer 2017 while living in SF, a new construction home intended as a long-term buy-and-hold.

We would get a better conventional loan rate on a new primary (vs investment property) and be able to put less than 20% down (if we wanted to).

What matters are your actual goals with the property.

It is generally not recommended to have a S-Corp hold appreciating property such as real estate.

Hi Ori, I'm an out of state investor as well, based in the seattle area, with a portfolio of 9 properties across Memphis and Detroit.

I have a property in Akron, OH that I freshly rehabbed about two years ago.

Just bought a property in cabarrus county and turned out the crawl space doesn’t just need a vapor barrier it needs to be incapsulated, with trenches a sump pump and an industrial dehumidifier.

In an effort to bring ANY $ in to help cover the mortgage ($4600 including taxes and insurance), I put together an AirBnB site for the property and set it live, with zero expectation.

Got in touch on a Thursday, visited the property on Friday and made an offer.
