The conversation went well and we moved forward. 

We plan to move to the Raleigh area which is where we will start investing.

I am moving to the Fort Carson/Colorado Springs area in August 2024.

If you have an LLC wholly owned by you, which then wholly a owns 3 separate LLCs, that whole structure is disregarded for federal tax purposes.a) It can be that easy. 

If my partner wasn’t so risk adverse and opposed to moving I would buy a new property and house hack it every 14 months or so when the seasoning period on the previous 3.5% down payment loan was up.

I understand that all of these programs cost more than we'd like but in my case Open Spaces was just what I needed to move further into real estate investing, and I'm so glad I took the plunge. 

Hello Murray, Assuming the new owners are interested in selling, you'd want to offer enough to help them cover their transfer taxes, legal/title fees, other closing costs, and possibly their moving costs. 

What is the #1 thing you need right now to move yourself forward?

That means that they have a separate dept to handle ordering the appraisals directly and they don't farm that out to an AMC (appraisal management company).

If you're the kind of person that needs hard math and graphing to understand things, this is completely the book you need on building wealth through duplex living.If your wife is behind you in this idea, and can see it as a move to financial independence, congratulations, you're in the small minority, as I am.
