Given the flexibility of our jobs, which offers nationwide opportunities, we have the privilege of choosing our permanent address anywhere in the country while remaining compliant with IRS regulations regarding tax homes.Initially, our aim was to purchase property in the Portsmouth, Durham, or Salem areas of New Hampshire.

The money you make on renting-by-the-room could go towards paying down the principal....OR.....you could put that money into hyper-growth mode by investing it into say, an ETF.....regardless of which path you choose, you will soon have paid-down the principal and have that 20% equity that is needed to eliminate the PMI. 

- Well... it depends. 

I use a strategy that does not give me a lot of cash flow every month but gives me large liquidity events when I choose to have them.

You don't have to skip the daily Starbucks to do it, you need to focus on how will you save large (3.5-20% depending on route you go) sums of money. 

Deductibility depends on the type of charity and is also subject to a percentage of the taxpayer’s adjusted gross income.

I can help with cold calling.Cost per lead is usually going to be in the $20-$50 dollar range (assuming a VA cold caller with native English) and a cost of about $0.20 per record for them to call potential motivated sellers (high equity, certain age, etc).CAC is going to depend on your conversion skills, but within 3-6 months can be $1500 to $5K depending on how many leads it takes you to close them.

My only problem was that the longest repayment period you can choose is only 60 months, which means that your monthly payments on a 40-50k loan is probably in the $700-$1000 range per month. 

I have 375k into the deal, rented the property for two years at a 140kgross and will pay the owner off that note in about 11 mos. the property is now around 650-700k. depends on your situation but for the nominal difference your talking I say go for it but if you're leveraging the upfront you need to cash in the overage for the appraisal and vice versa if your cash up front then have the seller carry a note from my experience- it also shows that the seller believes in the project by doing so if they won't carry a note separately id potentially walk but thats because we do mostly cash deals and the inability of them to believe in what I am willing turn me off to the deal when your talking about this gap

Generally speaking, people that attend these events are there to network, learn, and teach depending on their experience level.Feel free to reach out to me as well - happy to help however I can!
