I think the world needs more homes, and I want to be more involved in providing people a place to live.

i am assuming you are not in a position to do a live in BRRRR...

It's important to stay positive and focused, even in a competitive market like Seattle or naysayers.If you'd like, I’d be happy to jump on a quick 10-minute call to discuss your current strategy and see if there are any additional insights or connections I can provide to help you succeed.

Honestly even if the buyer does complete the sale, you are going to have to move again in a year because they aren't going to renew your lease-why not find another place to live? 

Hello,I purchased my first 2fam home with 2 other partners (living in one unit).

They worked it out mostly by having Steve move his stereo from the living room to the bedroom and he doesn’t play music when James is home.

@Robert ThompsonI don't think property value are 'low' right now, but lots of us are still buying.In order of easy to hard you can: look on the MLS; connect with wholesalers and others who source off market deals; and reach out to sellers / market yourself.If you can though, start with a house hack or live in flip instead. 

If it is considered real estate ownership in Florida, I am told that it must pass through probate unless it is held in a living trust.

This means you would still get the 200% MACRS on most/all assets that would otherwise be subject to bonus depreciation.Funnily enough, Ohio is not one of these states for my tax preparer friends who are looking for another reason not to work with Ohio :) (I live/work in Ohio, it's a wacky time).

The police told me there was a wanted felon living next door and to “call us if you see him” (??).
