I'll just self-insure for that risk.We manage about 30 properties in total, and usually have 1 BB case per year. 

You could start reporting her late to the credit bureaus(it would get reported once it's 30 days past due), that might get her attention.

My name is Tommy and I'm new to the REI world but I've had the desire to get into it since I bought my first  home - primary residence in 2020 but never had the capital to start.

Man, this thread really started to take off. 

Can you do this under an LLC and was there any fees for getting this started?

Quote from @Melis Torres: I believe the commercial space must be 25% of the total square footage or less.I would talk to your VA lender to see what options are available.

I want to start investing in real estate but before i can start my journey, i have to prepare.

I’ve always been eager to get started but also too scared to just stick my neck out & make the wrong purchase.

1) Make sure you understand you don’t have 45 days and then 180 days, you have 45 days, and then 135 days, 180 TOTAL days, unless that’s a holiday/sunday, then you have less than 180 total days. 2) Yes, you can do everything but close on any of the 3 replacement properties before you sell your existing property.

Unfortunately, 2024 started off slow, and we only closed a 4 unit in April.
