I currently have two deals I am a looking to invest in and I think it is a great time to enter the market on the investment side.The first deal a 30 acre parcel with two buildable parcels on it.  

Is having debt not reported on credit is your priority?

Have you found creative ways to market properties when buyers may be more focused on the holidays?

the market is unforgiving right now, and if you buy a random property by looking on Zillow and turn it over to people you don't know to manage, you'll lose money.with respect to your specific question, if the property is safe, clean, and priced correctly, it will rent. but that doesn't mean you'll make money on it. 

Which strategy would be the most suitable to begin with, focusing on long-term growth?

So that was a low hurdle to improve on.

I'm fairly confident from reading online we don't qualify for an exemption, but I'm trying to assess actual closing costs to trying and reduce them All details:Bought the house 2.5 years ago for $980K (left on mortgage $753K), we have a clause for an assumable mortgage for me to take over (I can keep same rate).

I use the work tenant is quotations, because the lease was not signed with an individual, but rather a LLC for a property management company who subleased the home on AirBnb. 

It can look good on paper but reality is another story. 

I love real estate and am devouring anything I can find on the subject of investing.
