There are lots of major companies moving and building out here like Intel, Meta, Google, Honda, etc.

I hate to miss out on the accelerated depreciation with the CSA.Hey Patrick, To make things smoother, you may just want to make the newly constructed residence a rental for two years and then move in after.

I moved here a few years ago from Portland OR to get started on real estate investing.

I was ready to move ahead as I was wanting to get away from managing my own rental and turn it over to a professional.

Building is a lengthy process that requires coordinating multiple aspects, which can be time-consuming.On the other hand, buying an existing property is generally cheaper upfront and offers the advantage of immediate availability, so you can move in or rent out quickly.

Fast forward to 2022 I'm awarded this property in a divorce and now it's my primary residence when I'm claiming primary residence.

In this case, where they NEED to secure a new rental vs a case where they merely WANT to move, they’re expectations will become realistic VERY quickly.If a property owner could net the same amount of money doing a long term rental, then that’s what they’d do so to avoid the more work and less uncertainty of 30-90 day rentals.

When my door was closed, I could tell by moving the Encode deadbolt by hand that it was scraping on the strike plate, which uses more battery power and can cause it to jam completely if the door swells from weather.  

In some submarkets, properties are moving very well and there is appreciation even in that price range.

With 2 kids and a third in the near future, we're looking to move again in the next 2-3 years.We have around $15k savings, $45k traditional IRA and $20k in other investments.
