Keep learning and growing...

I keep reading and I am very confused.

I’m largely sorting out how much reserve income I need, for incase work goes dry and I have to keep paying off the property.Would you recommend I run numbers on that first, or is it better to get a lenders input?

However, it adds complexity with more paperwork and potential self-employment taxes on all the income.Doing it as an individual is simpler, with everything going on your personal tax return, and you might benefit from the home sale exclusion if you end up living in the property for a few years.

Selling at $278,999Should I keep the house on the market ( delay my move )  and keep it as my primary residence while I save to buy a multi-family? 

Personally, we are on pace to sell more properties this year than the number of acquisitions for the first time since I started doing REI in 2017. 

But what can that person teach?

I think the most important person on your team will be the property manager.

I've been a lender here since I was moved here by a mortgage company in 1996 and we've personally been investing since 2008.

You might want to speak to your tax person about what would be the most beneficial way to set up tax wise before you have the attorney do the setup.
