Also, I really have been utilizing all the materials this site has to offer but there’s so much I’m not sure when I’ll get through it all!

I've had great success working with out of state investors such as yourself utilizing the BRRRR method here in Memphis. 

I’m trying to figure out what the typical tax reduction is for turning a ny home into a producing farm by merging with an adjacent orchard?

@Luke Goodman You could do that, sure, but if you are asking your sellers to counter at $280K, then you are telling the buyers that you can't produce a second offer that can trigger the escalation clause up to that price, letting them know that there may not be as much demand for the property as expected, so there is room for negotiation.

Maybe put the real estate investing on the back-burner while you get your new business off the ground and producing reliable income for you that looks good to lenders.

@Dennis Solari You are going to have to run the numbers on any property you might be interested in.Then you need to look Vrbo and Airbnb and see what properties are renting for and how often.Put all this in a spreadsheet and add in utilities, furnishing, consumables, cleaning, PM (unless doing this yourself), yard maintenance, house maintenance, tax and insurance and see how the numbers shake out.

My colleagues and I have used Top Producer but it hasn't been the most user friendly. 

Want to up my game.Started searching college towns, commuter towns outside of Boston (Manchester,NH , Providence, New Haven) trying not to be fearful of leaving my comfort zone ( Boston) which is highly priced as you know.Well, I found I very quite town in NH , nothing special about it , no big business, no huge draw but the population is holding its own, low crime...just a quaint town.This particular property is 8 unit with 6 add'l storage units & 2 garages ( those aren't bringing in revenue as of yet, not utilized) All are in good shape, not worn or old.

There are a lot of hidden costs behind mobile homes, its not just a situation where you place a mobile home on a residential lot (zoning, utilities and costs)
