I just received numbers from trusted local contractor so I would like some assistance with reviewing the numbers. 

It's a bit more of a technical read but serves as an excellent road map for syndicating Apartments.

But as long as you receive registration and plates every year it's not real estate so a non-starter for 1031.You don't want to play games with the IRS and renting back to yourself etc - especially when the rules are in your favor anyway. 

If you are able to receive service at your address during business hours, 5 days a week then sure its cheaper.

They would be much younger employees and incentivesed much differently than most PM companies, also payed per new tenant of the year, and get a small percentage of the rent each month similar to a PM company.I would receive many of the benefits of operating a small business as well as homeowner benefits which would be ideal.

Suspended and carried forward (leaving you with 0 taxable rental income regardless of cash received) or 2.

I personally own one small condo that I am currently house-hacking and had no trouble receiving a loan or financing the property.

What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving.

I am looking for recommendations for an excellent, creative and responsive mortgage broker that works in multiple states and can help advise me as I start to build my real estate portfolio.

Excellent reference Steve, thank you!
