If a tenant (friend) needed to move, I wouldn’t want to be in a bad situation financially.

@Steven HsuBigger Pockets is a great place to find a real estate tax accountant.A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

Private lenders tend to focus more on the value of the asset or project rather than your credit score or financial history.

Sounds like they are dumping a bad 1031 property into a REIT and spreading the financial burden upon existing REIT members.

Your $30k should be your emergency fund and not used for new investments at this time.Consider talking to a CPA or financial advisor.

It wasn't fun living an hour and a half from work and play, but absolutely worth it.If one is starting with relatively low living expenses, cash flow can be extremely powerful towards reaching financial freedom.

If your current lender can’t accommodate you, explore STR-focused lenders like Host Financial or Lima One Capital, or consider bridge loans to buy time while you build your rental history.

If you need financial help, ask under the "Finance, Tax, and Legal" forum.

As you delve deeper into the world of real estate, staying informed and adaptable will be key to achieving your financial goals.
