I have been toiling over investing in DST 1031 Exchange vs cashing out by paying capital gains.

It is effective as of July 1, 2024 for any deeds that have not been assigned by that date.

You are wasting your time and theirs by running applications when they don't even know if the house will work for them.I recommend you include some of your key qualification criteria in the advertisement.

FHA has caught on to this trend & updated the guidelines to prevent people from abusing FHA financing.Here are the guidelines directly from the FHA Handbook:Policy Exceptions Eligibility RequirementsRelocation: A Borrower may be eligible to obtain another FHA insured Mortgage without being required to sell an existing Property covered by an FHA-insured Mortgage if the Borrower is: • relocating or has relocated for an employment related reason; and • establishing or has established a new Principal Residence in an area more than 100 miles from the Borrower’s current Principal Residence.

The other utilities can be paid by the tenant.

By "better", I mean in terms of (1) return (2) licensing restrictions, and (3) state law. 

If any of the L-lines are close by and service nearby colleges, I think I'd be more likely to build out that 4th bedroom.

Ive been in many residential transactions where there is 1 party being represented by an agent, and 1 unrepresented.

@Bob Willis I have done both and would highly recommend passive syndication investing over lending for the reasons mentioned by @Taylor L.

NOTE 2: if we choose NOT to upgrade the rooms, the units can't be in the hotel's pool of units to be rented out to guests.NOTE 3: right now, I'm losing about $1,500/moMy gut tells me to just get rid of this unit at a loss but I have a few questions I'm hoping someone can help me with (so far, I've asked some RE professionals I know but they don't have any idea).1) If I was to pay the ~160k for room renovations, does this mean the room increases value by at least that same amount?
