I was just following instructions and it seems everyone including myself are just stumbling our way through this learning curve. 

And be sure to check with folks other than your family banker (where you carry all your accounts) - you'd be surprised how much price / term shopping can save you on each deal.Best of luck to you and I look forward to following your journey!

@James FainSee the following for the 401k loan rules. https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/retirement-pl...See the following regarding the 401k distribution rules.https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-particip...

Let's assume that in 15 years you will have to replace the following: house roof, refrigerator, a window that broke, and to retile the bathroom walls.

Once speaking with the "powers that be" I always recommend following what they tell you to do. 

I know there may be a higher vacancy expectation due to summer months, but as far as I know most rentals in the area for college students start their leases in June and end in May the following year. 

Or would it be a better approach to follow up on all warm handoffs AND leads myself, then pay a fee to whichever one I closed on?

@Rajesh T.You shouldn't be taxed twice on the sale of a rental property.Normally the sale of an investment property is two fold.Capital gains taxDepreciation recaptureDepending on your tax rate - capital gains tax rate is either 0%, 15% or 20%Depreciation recapture's tax rate is capped at 25%It is true that selling an investment property with a large gain can ultimately push your other income to a higher tax bracket.

Based on the market, it seems impossible to get close to the 1% or 2% rule.I have been told that the market looks like it is going to appreciate a lot since a lot of people are getting pushed out of Bend because of the high cost of homes and rentals.Would love any advice!
