TLDR: If I can feel confident in the deal itself, I have no problem taking on additional debt.

So I'll initially start with the minimum loan size with some cash reserves taking up the additional space between there and purchase price.   

I also got licensed in Florida at the end of 2023 so we can continue to invest and create additional income to put into a buying fund.I'm excited to be here to learn and connect with other investors and realtors. 

I am sure that you would think that the Turo contract would help with that, but seeing as you are providing it as a service in addition to your STR, I can see issues if there is a problem.Plus you are offering significant services with that rental and that would change your tax situation.

In addition to ample windshield time learning the city, I had a lot of local folks help me see the opportunity in Augusta.

From some additional research, it seems that Texas is a non-disclosure state, which could be the reason why there isn't that much information out there.

If you have a good CPA, realistically, the only additional deductions you get for putting a property in an LLC are the costs associated with creating and maintaining the LLC. 

There will be very little, if any, additional income coming in during your retirement.Rather than accumulate more money, the goal of retirement is simply to enjoy your life, while not running out of money.But this is, in fact, one of the most common fears about retirement.

If you had a decent relationship with them and are worried about the things they could spread, I would at least make them pay that additional month and start advertising immediately.

As an investment property owner, I understand wanting to avoid any additional headaches that may come with potential water damage.
