I'm a first-time real estate investor based in Germany, eager to learn and start my journey, of Italian citizenship.

Recently, my husband and I sold our home in TX with one objective - to kick off our real estate investment journey.

Doing so ensures they've had notice sooner rather than later, and also so they know I'm running a business and not simply enjoying a hobby in real estate.On the other hand, if the tenant doesn't pay the rent when due, the law in Michigan only requires a 3 day notice.

I am bad for getting analysis paralysis and have been searching for a couple months and have made a couple offers but none have been accepted yet. 

I am new here in Bigger Pockets and I purchased a rental property in San Antonio, Texas back in 2019 with little knowledge back then, in real estate.

really depends on the state.. for instance OHIO is one of the safest the judge wont confirm the sale unless everything except irs is taken care of.. you just need to know if its a first or second.NV is another pretty easy one at least Vegas. where the sales are handle downtown there is a title company right there and they run title on everything that is going and offer a hand out to any bidders just ask for it..

@Kathy Creighton-Smith, the Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the metric that captures the entire picture of the total return of owning real estate. 

So someone who only books casually on VRBO might be better off not doing the subscription, but if you book a lot it will pay for itself real quick.

Hey Ashley, It's great you're looking into real estate tax strategies for your LTR properties.
