:DI'm a brand new, aspiring real estate investor, and I'm super excited about the path that lies ahead!

That is out of the picture since that needs to be set up ahead of time.The only other potential way is through a QOF(Deferral).Best of luck in your search for a CPA.

Just a heads up!

As far as underwriting/occupancy conventional is the only one above that would allow for a straight non OO investment purchase, FHA/VA are only for properties you intend to purchase and then occupy.

If it's a straight R10 and the zoning hasn't changed then there shouldn't be a problem unless it's in some sort of a UZO or historic.It needs to be min 10k square feet lot size. 

Hi Jack,That's great to have a good road map of the things ahead.

I have just been taking a straight 10% (5% and 5%) for maintainance into my projections.

With your savings you have some runway, but all sides of real estate cost money to make money, but you are already ahead of or with the curve by renting to travel nurses.

I expect this to go straight up, as rents have been $595.
