I'm not good at making all the little decisions about how/what, just want someone who can say, yeah need to replace/update this, and fix up that, etc. anyone have recommendations for a general contractor that can just run with the whole project? 

(My spouse just landed her first gig and is projected to start in November 2024) and we are ready to invest starting fresh in 2025 with minimal payments left on loans, etc.

I only WISH I had known about this ability to make money earn in two places at once while ALSO getting a death benefit and future tax benefits.

Given that you have no income, and it's likely you may not meet the material participation threshold for 2023, the loss would then be kept on form 8582 to be used to offset future years of income from the property in the form of a "carryover loss"

This could involve budgeting strategies, saving goals, and even potential investments for the future.

Review the seller’s maintenance records to identify any existing issues or potential problems.Do your financial analysis to factor in the current rent, estimated vacancy rate, maintenance costs, property taxes, and insurance to determine the property's projected cash flow.

The earlier you start in your RE journey, the better off you will be in the future.

This will be a slow burn project.

Any plans for future meetings?
