I just moved to Columbus, Ohio and started investing local.It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4.

Almost all of the risk is taken away once you get low interest long term financing and as long as you hit your numbers and plan to reinvest right away you do better with upside if you are buy again then you have more properties getting the appreciation (and cashflow) if the market keeps going up.

As long as the unit passes basic safety standards you should be ok- what is the issue with the cabinets? 

That means can we change A LLC to B LLC in 1031 as long as they have the same shareholders?

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Sale price: $472,500I purchased this condo to live in with the anticipation of holding on to it for as long as possible.

The stars will align at some point.As long as you're not throwing darts at a board you'll be alright. 

As long as you have money budgeted like that you should be fine. 

Any spouse in it for the long haul should understand and be willing to support this venture as long as you are willing to keep them in the loop of what you are doing...who knows, they may want to go in with you which would be awesome! 

@Courtnye Nicole as long as everyone has to follow the same laws it is what it is.

The law views an LLC as separate from you personally, as long as you follow a bunch of rules (ie, don't "breach the corporate veil").
