Obvious.

@Clint Morris You can have up to 10 mortgages with Fannie Mae and up to 10 with Freddie Mac for a total of 20 conforming, conventional mortgages. 

I'm looking for CRE market data, specifically total transactions a year, both sales and leases. 

Clearly the downside is each portfolio will not grow / compound as quickly due to lack of total focus.On the other hand / upside, if one does well  it can feed the other and if both do well that’s even better.My motivation for asking is because I am already 100% invested in stock market as I am just learning about REI.

Example of that totaled $100k, then I would want to give him/his trust 50% of the gains or losses after that $100k was given back first. 

They had the obvious appearance of abandonment and need for repairs!

I only ask because it is a long time (more than likely more than a year total) to leave our $ in the house after both renos.

So obviously that fluctuates some but it’s always early.  

Totally doable to make sound investments remotely without ever seeing the properties in person. 

I read IRA pub 523 and my takeaway is that the I do not qualify for the primary residence exception (the '2 years living there in last 5 years' clause) because I didn't live there for 2 years total at any point.
