So one good strategy would be to get that contract now for the portfolio but negotiate some wiggle room in closing dates so you can list and sell your old property before having to take title to the portfolio.It's possible for that portfolio to be considered one purchase as long as it is from one seller on one contract with one closing. 

As long as the expenses from your first home are covered by the rent you bring in from it you should keep it.  

As long as you can get in touch with someone if there is an issue at the property like leaks or broken appliance, etc.....why would you need their address?

As long as you are only investing in amounts you can afford to lose if the worst happens and you diversify among organizers, not projets, you should fare well.

We have and will rent to first timers as long as we only have to ask for financial stability assistance in one area- being residence history.

@Moises Correa the good news here is that as long as you take the cash out, you won't regret it.

We typically need 3,500 - 4,000 sqft of open space (no need for a roof as long as we stay in SoCal) in the backyard to take photographs, store, and service our machineries (small, compact 5,000 to 12,000 lbs weight excavators).

Hi - As long as the property appraises your math is correct and you would be able to use the $10K for whatever you wanted. 

Therefore, the investors receive those passive losses as long as they invested in that same calendar year. 

You charge them rent that covers your expenses so they can continue living in their home as long as they need to and then when they leave, you own the house and can do with it as you please.
