We have told my ex-wife that we are willing to let her stay in the house for a time but she needs to pay rent.

We have a few markets we target outside of California, but obviously if you want to stay close to home, Sacramento would be an ideal choice.

Yes, they are getting higher than market rent for that specific Neighborhood, but they also have a hard time finding a S8 tenant that wants to move into and stay in that Neighborhood.

Sad that NY isn't taking advantage of expensive hotels to get most of the US traffick to stay on US side and just do a day visit to Canada side and come back.I don't know why small towns change their STR rules and make restrictions.

Having a long-term rental while living abroad is do-able.Flipping houses while abroad, in my opinion, more difficult, especially if its your first go around with real estate.I would recommend taking a flight and staying in the area for a week and inspect the neighborhoods and make connections.You can reach out to @Elenis Camargo who has a PM company in Jacksonville.Best of luck though.

However, always stay updated on local regulations related to STRs.In conclusion, Albuquerque presents a fascinating blend of opportunities for both new and seasoned real estate investors.

Was it for a place to live for work before they found a permanent location or was it used for someone wanting to stay in the area as a 2nd home for the winter months?

Now, if you've already set up LLCs per property, then yes, have at least 1 checking account per LLC.For people who own their properties personally, keep personal accounts that are exclusive to RE activities so all of that activity stays separate from other personal transactions.

To me the value in diversification is that it helps nudge you to look for other opportunities and revenue streams where you might otherwise just be content to stay in your lane and then you'd never find anything new. 

Can I personally take that extra finance money tax free into my own name or personal bank account to do with what I please, or does the refinance money have to stay in that Llc company and I cant use it personally.
