It felt like a huge risk because I wasn’t familiar with the area and wasn’t great at screening agents or property managers.

I’ve heard the horror stories of TX property tax so I looked for low property tax. 

I just want to give a huge thank you to @Colleen Goldstein for helping us buy our first rental property!

as an out-of-state investor (First investment property).

(Hopefully, still finding the right property)I’m looking at several properties around Anderson, SC.

And planning on doing it this year for our new property.

We do include their tax rate on their return with supplement information but it only becomes a true topic of discussion during our quarterly calls with certain clients.

Hi Nadiya,I am from Bay Area, California and is interested in MF properties in Dallas / Fort Worth.

Since refinancing and investment income (like rental income) usually aren’t seen as earned income, it likely won’t affect your mom’s survivors' benefits.However, if your mom’s survivors' benefits are based on disability (SSDI), then additional financial or property assets could trigger a review, so you might want to consult a CPA or financial advisor to be sure there are no unintended consequences.This isn't legal advice.

We move fast and look at a LOT of properties when we are actively buying.
