We currently own 2 homes and are thinking about re-locating to another area which would mean we would need to get a 3rd home.

, and get going on re-tenanting at market rate.Now I just need to get the proper forms without breaking the bank!

Others want to have a family, which becomes their highest priority ... etc.If I were in your shoes, I would sit down with the wife and write down the goals with actual numbers and dates and run them by your friend or some other folks here...There are tons of strategies in real estate, some more lucrative than others, but require some level of expertise, which you can only build once you get in the game more seriously.Year 0: Skills: Basic RE Education.

It was hard enough to get a loan for the home I just bought in Denver so I would love to hear from other self-employed people here about their experience in RE investing! 

You should re-read any divorce decrees or agreements before making any decisions. 

After the tenant moved out, the property underwent major renovations, and the plan is to put the property back up for rent in the next few weeks.My question is, as part of the BARRR strategy (buy, advertise, rehab, rent, refinance), since the house was already technically rented out, can I deduct all rehab expenses even if I didn't re-advertise the property as available for rent?

Basically the BRRRR strategy, but with a full cash initial acquisition and Delayed Financing rather standard re-financing.

I write my own addendums  let me tell you how quite simpleon wordat the top in 14 point   center the word ADDENDUMunder that put  RE:   and the property addressunder that put the terms of the addendum  IE   purchase price to be  XXX all other terms to remain the samethen put sig  line and  date  that's all that needs to be done.. its just telling the parties what is going to change in the original contract..

He's in Texas and is incredibly helpful, knowledgable, and investor-friendly, with tons of experience working with RE investors and helping them with various refinancing approaches.

Hearing a successful stories motivates even more to dig deep into studying and researching the RE business!
