Hopefully, it is not just a sales show.  

I was considering a short sale but I'm not behind on payments or anything.

We got our offer accepted on the house in February of this year on the short sale.

.- I have to work under a broker for 2 years before I can apply for my brokers license in state of FL- I have to split my commission profit with broker and all funds/payments must be made out directly to the broker- the percentage commission I negotiate with property owners is my decisionDetermine best path to form Vacation Rental Property Management company being aware of my new status a sales associate- can I start my own business entity to establish and brand my VR management company now, or would/should I just wait the 2 years, get brokers license and then do so.

I definitely can't afford to buy already built regular properties for sale as that will be out of my reach.

Quite a few properties down there for sale. some pretty good deals.

I'm going to check out the attorney Page Allen since my property is in Virginia.Does anyone know the answer to this question: If the title is being transferred from one LLC to another with $0 payment or sale, will I be subject to be paying transfer taxes?

.- Call all the craigslist.org for sale by owners.  

Even if you were offsetting the profits with depreciation write-offs, there will be a depreciation recapture upon the sale by the IRS. - Also keep in mind you will be spending at least $2.5k per month on rent to continue living in NYC while you invest out of state.

We have had success with short sales but it takes patience.
