We are renting out the top and living in the mother in law apartment in the basement.

It’s funny, your last question is actually my first question...with us being new to investing now is probably not the best time to make this move with our IRA.Perhaps once we are a few years and deals into this, it could be a good option to help boost out retitement savings.Thank you again!

Because we are dependant, for the most part, on word of mouth recommendations it is vital that our recommendations are valid.

It is a 4 unit in East Alton, IL(25 MINITES FRIM St LIUIS, MO) We are asking $145k.

My primary concern is that we are not handing large sums of cash to someone who, despite great referrals, runs abroad with our money. 

I want to make the most of the money so we are thinking we want to remodel.

Also, floors should probably favor long-wearing/cheaper, rather than pretty to look at.

We are very early days.

Hey Everyone, I have a situation that I’m not quite clear on if we are able to make work with a 1031 exchange.

We are looking to make a move out of California in the near future and I'm looking for some advise on long term investing strategies out of state.
