You tend to get better terms on a fully rented property rather than one that is vacant.All fees associated with any loan would have to be paid including but not limited to Appraisal Underwriting Origination TitleIn regards to property management that would be up to you to make that call based on other operating expenses and your own personal availability.

It's definitely a bigger headache taking care of these things while tenants are living there and when things do go out, they tend to go out at non-convenient times such as Christmas eve when it's 0 degrees outside and nothing is open. 

Not only do I wish to avoid putting down 25% on this house as an investment property, but I want to avoid the higher taxes associated with making this an investment property.Any guidance would be appreciated!

In my state of New Hampshire they have ruled we ARE allowed to file evictions and I started one with the help of a more experienced associate about a week and a half ago and the initial paperwork put the living fear into my tenant and he paid what was owed and we made arrangements for this month.

After graduating Manhattan College in 2013 with a degree in Accounting (I do not have my CPA), I started an internship at a NYC based digital advertising tech company.

Once you get an idea of the costs associated with each component then you can look at a property and do a basic estimate of the costs to see if its worth your time.

I have my associates degree and work a seasonal Restaurant Job making $30k a summer.

I debated selling a place instead of renting it because of the appreciation, but you’re just taking advantage of an increased price on one side and buying something at an increased price on the other side, and paying the fees associated with it.

Just thinking, if you are corner lot bordering on a non-owned street and non-association property, a liability loss might be more likely on your property than one on the street.
