Respect their time by giving them the information they need to include or exclude your listing quickly, and then earn their respect by answering all correspondence quickly.Making life easier for the frazzled person trying to do their job is its own reward.

Just keep in mind that condos still have HOA rules and fees, which can sometimes limit rental options or add extra costs.

It’s reassuring to know there’s a supportive community of experienced investors willing to share their hard-earned lessons.I’ve taken a ton of notes and feel much more prepared to move forward with a smarter, more intentional approach.

On the $650k we financed and “wrapped” we earn the 6% differential every year - or $39,000 (declining as amortization occurs).  

Other asset classes aren't so the depreciation schedule may not be as quick/beneficial.2) And it is even possible to find deals that are what I call "super-shielders" and which not only shield all the distributions in the investment but have extra to use over on other real estate investments that are throwing off income. 3) Unless you're doing a 1031 exchange  at the end or similar tax structure to defer taxes, you will have to *pay back* all that depreciation benefit at the end (on sale...which for you is in 5 years)  via depreciation recapture.

Quote from @Hector Espinosaor Espinosa: Quote from @Jared Smith: I would tell myself to figure out how to buy it if it is close to making sense and don't squabble over an extra couple thousand dollars that you are only paying 20-30% of at close anyways.

The reality is the opposite - if it's not in writing then the PMC doesn't have to provide the service or can charge extra for it!

Firstly, well done for persevering and trying every avenue you thought would get you the data you needed.Most would have caved earlier and handed out there hard earned cash for old, saturated leads/records from the same prominent platforms which dump them pretty much when they receive them from either 1).the same large brokers AFTER the county has listed them on the county website or, 2). from the counties themselves directly AFTER the county has listed them on there own website, or, 3). from data scrapers on Upwork/Fiverr who scrape the data from those same platforms AFTER the counties/brokers sell those platforms the data being scraped by the freelancers.Anyway, rant aside you seem to of made the same mistake i made when I first started branching out away from providing leads to my original couple of clients i got from Upwork who wanted me to scrape data from court records in FL for pre FC leads.Simply, I didn't know where to look for the information I needed in states outside of FL.FL only allows the judicial route to foreclosure so I only needed to know/find/scrape the data from Lis Pendens documents for counties they requested.

While I am extra nervous I am trying to make this an investing opportunity and decided to house hack or buy a place to rehab which I can later rent - let’s see how the DC market treats me.Suerte a todos y un placer ! 

However, it can come with extra costs for setup, maintenance, and potentially higher interest rates on loans.
