My advice would be to start small and do your research.

Hello everyone,I'm currently diving into the world of medium-term rentals in the Bay Area and seeking guidance from seasoned professionals or mentors who can offer insights and advice as I embark on this journey.

Hopefully with your potential 1031 you have gotten some tax advice on how to defer or plan for a gain...

If anyone has any advice on how I should try to get a solid mortgage or how to leverage my first time home buyer benefits, please reach out.

@Savannah Yingling @Laura StaytonThank you for the advice!

@Jay Samudio great advice from @Melanie P.Also, in our 24 years of experience, a tenant that has to get emergency relief typically ends up behind on rent again very soon.Be sure the tenant cooperates with providing documentation explaining why they fell behind and that the problem is highly unlikely to repeat.If they won't cooperate and state, "none of your business', then what does that tell you?

I'd be happy to provide more detailed advice.

Good advice except some states don't allow flexibility with the security deposit. 

I need some advice on a situation.I have a section 8 tenant who did not pay rent, was served a notice to quit by a Marshall.

Thank you this is the advice I’m looking for.
