We allow them to note anything they see wrong with the property before moving in and they sign it.

This allows you to really niche down and target your ideal tenant demographic.

After spending 25 years as a Software Engineering and Product leader, I’m now exploring the world of real estate investing (REI) and looking forward to learning from all of you.My goal is to leverage my current investments and savings to build a real estate portfolio that will eventually allow me to transition away from my current career.

they told us the borrower is not allowed to choose a title company we have to use theirs. 

Hi all - Looking to get my property in Denver rezoned to allow for a duplex.

Use your RE background and make sure zoning allows and there are no hidden grandfathered requirement if it switches use.Sounds like you have the $600,000.  

Tangible personal property identified in a cost segregation study is what allows you to accelerate depreciation.

While rates for the new loan will be higher, keeping your existing loan intact on the remaining balance preserves that low-cost debt.Use the equity to purchase properties in higher cash-flow markets while retaining ownership of your Bend property.1031 Exchange:If you do sell, a 1031 exchange allows you to defer capital gains taxes by reinvesting the proceeds into like-kind properties.

My advice would be to follow up with Vitaliy and pick his brain as much as he will allow.
