Hey Eric,I would really recommend sitting down and writing out what you WOULD be doing if you were present and could do it all.

Unless you plan to pay cash for your properties, get pre-qualified for an investor loan, so you will know how much credit you will have access to.The end goal - This is usually something like $10,000/Mo. income, in present value dollars.Time frame - The shorter your time frame to reach your goal, the more initial capital and credit you will need.If you decide buying an investment property is the right option, the most important decision is the location.

I find it quite regular to see unrealistically low Property Management expenses presented by the Seller.

Hello,I'm presently refinancing my personal residence that I bought in October 2017. 

This opportunity presented itself and I took it because of the cash flow potential it had.How did you find this deal and how did you negotiate it?

@Angel Moreno, a 1031 exchange will allow you to sell that property and, using the correct process, purchase new replacement investment property while indefinitely deferring all tax and depreciation recapture. 

Please speak with a CPA about this but I heard that you can defer capital gains this way.I know people that do this in Columbus, Ohio

My job is within 30 minutes of the home and requires me to stay the night at the job up to 80% of a normal month...so, I will not be physically present at the home very often, which is why I’m considering an STVR.What qualifies as occupancy?

Do property managers give presentations when "on-boarding" and or taking on new clients?

We also provide food and have a ton of super experienced guest speakers present.
