Let the property sit empty until you are fully educated on the finances of income property investing or sell it and be free from th eresponsibilities of managining properties and tennats.It only come down to th enumbers, do not make any decissions until you know the market. keep in mind most homes make for very poor investment income properties and will be more of a financial burden than a benefit.In your position I would have it listed with a real estate agent and sell.

Didn't cross my mind until this morning that I remember something about a required ownership period of at least 91 days prior to selling or accepting a contract.

Good morning bigger pockets community, the names dan and I’m a fairly new real estate investor in the Hampton Roads area , after due diligence and much research I’ve landed here at bigger pockets to further pursue my real Estate education and to further my career as an investor.

@Etan Frankel although the government has a hard deadline of April 20th, 2018 to establish designated opportunity zones nation-wide, the investments wont happen for a short period afterwards while the IRS works on designating qualifications for the certification of an Opportunity Zone Fund.As soon as the certifications have been designated and the flood gates for applications are opened, i am sure you will begin to see many Opportunity Fund's pop up that would be eager to participate in the investment.

Are you going to occupy this property for a period of time before renting?

HI my name is Colin I'm 21 I live in Canada and  I'm brand new to Bigger pockets and I'm looking to buy my first property sometime in the summer but until then I'm just trying to educate my self as much as possible.

I immediately identify wrong moves and missed opportunities that had the borrower been educated ahead of time, they would not be in such a position.My advice is the 5 PsPrior Planning Prevents P_ ss Poor Performance  It's what you do in advance as well as what you do after the purchase, that collectively over time will net more wealth.

Wealth building is a risk game and educated risk is good risk.I have high cash flow and a large HELOC to rely on as a back up. 

I started my education with books and attending a local REIA meeting.

Currently have very little experience with real estate investing (we bought a primary residence last year) but my wife and I are working together to become better connected and better educated.
