Now, there's a big difference between jumping blindly into something vs. doing your homework and penciling out the numbers to see if the investment makes sense.

(Everything financially made sense and was reasonable for everyone considering her homes value, rental costs, etc).

With the 75/25 split on capital gains (or losses), and the one year occupancy, do you think it makes sense to use as a rental property? 

@Jacob Ketchum I’m looking at multi family houses or single family houses because that is what makes sense to me now.

And there are a TON more houses here that make more sense as a rental than a flip. 

I am considering a financing arrangement and would like thoughts on whether this makes sense.  

If you bought a duplex with the same terms and rented out the other side for $1,000 month you'd be able to control a $350k property for only $1,321 per month, not $2,321.Ultimately when you move out, you'll be able to rent the side you lived in and the property should at least pay for itself if not make you a little money every month.Does that all make sense?

@Dan StewartThe founder of Vanguard, John Bogle wrote a pretty good book called "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing: The Only Way to Gurantee Your Fair Share of Stock Market Returns"

@Isaiah Williams There are a variety of pros and cons to each entity option, and what will make the most sense for your LLC will depend on your plans and goals.

Would it make sense to take our 25% downpayment and purchase 2 homes in another state rather than spend all of our equity on one home around the Boston area just because it is close?
