If you use something like Quickbooks it can track loan as it gets paid off so you can easily see how much is owed at any time.

Is this simply stating that for that time period I cannot disclose this or any info from their firm for 2 years? 

HI StuartThanks for the detailed reply.Part of the research process for me is posting in the forums and hearing a variety of responses, since many times online sources are just promotion of services that solve a problem related to the search term.

Because buying a one-off in those areas and then paying property management is going to cut or kill your profits.If you are doing OOS, you should focus on more turnkey or rent-ready over value add because as a new investor, you are going to lose money on the remote rehab.With a prior bankruptcy, an FHA loan, and 50k from someone else or inheritance, I would think a little more solid about how you want to invest.

I haven’t dealt with one on any of my deals while in my time lending but on the residential side gap funding comes up on a weekly basis.

We’ll get there, one deal at a time!

When you buy determines your short/long term capital gains.The "in-service" date = The point in time when you can start taking depreciation from.

The plan is to go part time at first and then full time by 2017.

We now hold it as a rental property that cashflows well with a 2.75% interest rate (got lucky with the rate environment at the time of purchase!)

I am grateful to any kind people here that can give me any insight on how I can make decisions that can benefit me financially.
