My recommendation coincides with the previous feedback on the thread.  

I had previously had 2 rental properties but sold them not knowing what I know now.

I am a junior in college studying construction management.

By way of example, let's say that we hypothetically have an offer with 350K down, 650K financed, which is 1031 money so that he must match what he previously owned.Our problem is that we don't want to receive the 350K in one tax year, we would like to spread it out over a few tax periods. 

The safest way to do it is to house hack, for me personally, I am closing on my first 3 bedroom house with a basement near a college here where ii live, so will live in the basement and rent out the 3 rooms to college kids/ or friends.

During the previous administration and the withdrawal from Iraq the Marine Corps was cut down (179-185k range).

It doesn’t always have to be previous use of the site.

This happens a lot when there are children from a previous marriage.3.

I currently own 2 vacation rentals in the beach town in Florida where I live and have a good record regarding income and consistent 5-star reviews.Now I want some properties in a college town where I have 2 sons in school.

Storage, notes, land anyone?
