That will make it easier for renting the long-term rental for sure because you can advertise the base rent, which is comparable to market rent, and then state that utilities are included for the utility fee.

If the property is vacant you can use the market rent from the 1007 to qualify.

Some options I've considered: - Forward 1031:  Seems to have timing issues (unless my purchase offer has a contingency, which will most likely make my offer pointless in my market).- A reverse 1031: Complex, and possible financing issues for the initial purchase before selling.

This is going to make me shop other alternatives since I have not checked the market in a while.I have not had a claim with them but I am concerned there will be issues when I do.Update: Just got feedback from them on their last error.

I'm just beginning research into this market so if anyone has any insight into this area and what to know investing out of the country, I would appreciate it!  

We have our own custom CRM for real estate that can meet all of your requirements and is cheaper than most solutions on the market.

I’m not as familiar with the tenant market up that way, but if you’re interested in the Syracuse area, multi families are endless possibilities! 

The industry has changed from 30 years ago. 

I'm frankly surprised at how robust the market has remained.
