Best of luck, and feel free to reach out if I can help!

So $30k plus any state income taxes leaves you with $150k+ after paying off mortgage.You can certainly do a 1031 tax free in to a new rental.

No matter where you live or where you own assets, I personally recommend the Series LLC to be a great tool for the individual investor who is planning to expand their operation, as it allows for you to scale infinitely for FREE.

However I prefer it to just be me as this is currently my goal of becoming financially free through real estate and not his at this time.

But here is one example: Property manager engages in discrimination in selecting tenants without owner's knowledge.

That's why I am paying for ChatGPT4, which has about 10x the inteligence of the free 3.5 version and make it a point to use it on a daily basis - basically to train me on how to use AI.

My suggestion would be to select someone with the most forum posts or most reviews.

Do you have every potential renter complete this or only select one renter based off the pre-screening process?

So I had to let them stay rent free until the end of July.

With a 30 year mortgage, you can still treat it like a 15 year mortgage with double payments, lump sums, etc. you also have the flexibility of a lower monthly payment, so cash flow would be better and would free up more capital to invest elsewhere.
