You call someone to tell them that they financially can not take care of their own life?

That sounds like a well-considered plan, and visiting in person is a great first step.

@Ray WhiteI recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation and tax planning for high earners.

I am planning to start a direct booking site for my short-term rentals.

That's significant growth.However, consider these points:Make sure you have reserves for unexpected repairs or vacancies across all properties - THIS IS KEYRun the numbers carefully on the potential house hack and multi-family to ensure they make financial sense.Consider the long-term strategy: Will the potential appreciation and equity build-up in the new properties outweigh the increased costs on the Farmington condo?

@Anastasia Jordan, ADOR does like to hear about it if you are a neighbor or live nearby and plan to rehab the property.

Why give away your profits to someone who will not care about it as much as you will!

If they do inquire we just say we have plans for an extensive reno or the owner is requesting the unit emptied.

I would shop this out with a broker that could save you some money in the long term depending on how you are planning on keeping the property.

You don’t want to waste your time with these folks or plan 1:1 people thinking they’re “the one.”
