BP is maybe the greatest free resource to help you get started in Real Estate Investment there is on the internet.

While the advent of electricity, the internet, cell phones and the like are amazing tools, but as a very wise man in my life once told me "don't get used by your tools!"

While I agree with you in most cases they are a scam an a prospective tenant can purchase documentation for $49 via the internet. 

Congratulations, you have found one of the most valuable free resources on the internet for real estate investors new and old.

The biggest things i noted could be improved were missing basics like sugar, coffee, working tv, good internet, and just good decorations that i expected for a ski location, instead of the random incongruous ones there. 

I would recommend reading some reviews on the Internet and check their credibility.

I can still rent it out.In my analysis, I am assuming I can write off: Building Depreciation (32% of purchase price over 27.5 years) HOA Utilities (cable/internet/water/electricity) Property Manager Mortgage Interest Property taxesIf I take the lower interest rate associated with the 2nd mortgage loan, will I then lose all of the deductions associated with an investment property?

Don't believe all the stuff you find on the internet.

I don’t know if anyone has student loans that have been discharged but I’m reaching out out of desperation because I cannot find anything on the Internet at all.

I bought one serveral years ago, it worked great on my first job.
