Besides that, just wanted to chime in real quick - I'd highly check in with a CPA and I am no tax expert, so wanted to preference that.

The area’s limited number of apartment buildings means that many renters prefer single-family properties, creating steady demand for these homes.Having assisted numerous buyers in Little Rock, I’ve seen firsthand the opportunities this market offers.

The first agent is absolutely certain the house will sell in the high 400’s.

I highly suggest working with an investor friendly agent so you don't buy in the wrong locations.I like the west side of Cleveland.

There are plenty of older homes on the market that do not have closets.You need 2 egresses (including 1 that goes outside) such as a door or window, size about 70sqft (local codes may differ), ceilings at least 7ft high, and it cannot be a walk-through passage.As always, your local codes may be different.

I'm starting to acquire furnishings and am looking for a checklist of sorts to help keep myself organized as I seek the best deals on high quality goods to furnish our rental. 

I would like Lawrence or areas that are starting to increase in value but not as high currently. 

Years ago I spent many months working in Indianapolis and staying at the Canal Street apartments. 

another issue it is about 18 months wait to get a Cabin started due to high demand for builder.  

Maintenance and potential repairs will also require a long-term financial plan and setting aside a contingency fund for such expenses.The steady cash flow, appreciation over time, and tax benefits can make a meaningful difference to your wealth in the long term, especially with the principal paydown on the mortgage.However, if managing the property from a distance feels too burdensome, or if you’d prefer the certainty and flexibility that comes with having less debt (especially given the high mortgage rates), selling and using the $100,000 in equity to reduce your loan for your next home may be the smarter move.
