You always talk about strategies, and they are all smart... but Ive never heard you give an example of your deal.

I highly recommend working with a real estate focused tax pro to explain your specific strategy, so you can be made aware of any pitfalls that could get you into trouble. 

what I'm not sure of yet is how the bill will impact the double close strategy if you're not licensed. in any case if there are any investors (experienced) who are interested in being on my buyers list let me know!

Or try making an adjustment to your strategy and going the STR route, reach out to AHN, UPMC, and/or Heritage Valley Human Resources department and see if they have any travelers or traveling agencies looking for placements for their travel staff.

I am concerned about our exit strategy on this.

There are also some creative strategies like sub-to and wholesaling you could explore.

Hey @Griffin Malcolm, if you have the ability, I think house hacking is a great strategy.

Exit strategy is to refinance and use as Airbnb.

I am based in NJ, but am targeting the South Bend, IN area for my first rental (primarily interested in long term rentals using the BRRR and buy-hold strategies).I am new to investing so I would love to connect with other investors, agents, lenders, property managers in the South Bend area or anyone who focuses on out-of-state investing as well! 

Depending on the property itself and strategy you are implementing it may be an up hill battle in these areas.
