not enough info to properly advise.

If you buy it outside of Boston proper you could rent it as an Airbnb when you’re not using it.

I want to make sure we have the proper procedures in place and be able to take the reimbursement before the end of 2021.I would really appreciate any feedback on the plan I have outlined. 

You are already used to this lifestyle so it's not a big deal, and that alone is going to put you on another level when you decide to make the jump in to REI.

Are you saying this process has changed, or you just were not familiar with it to start the process properly?

@Alex Tokmazeyskiy - I think it really depends on your needs as an agent and how exactly you plan to use your license.If you plan on becoming a full-time agent and making it your sole source of income, I'd probably suggest linking up with one of the bigger firms (Coldwell Banker, Baird & Warner, Keller Williams) with properly structured training.If you are looking to just use your license as an investor, then maybe finding a smaller boutique broker with lower commissions is the way to go.

Turnkey may be a great strategy for those with little time.We've seen a lot of investors screwed though, due to lack of proper due diligence:1) Turnkey has built-in PMC for "one-stop shop" offer.

figured so long as you have proper screening criteria you'll be in a good spotDidn't think about the turnover coinciding with natural rent increases that's an interesting point 

I think beyond what your goals are, it also needs to include your strengths, lifestyle you want to lead, etc.If if goal is to grow $500k to 1.5mm to $15mm as quickly as possible, it will be starting with fix and flips and scaling up, typically into commercial developments.
