This perspective goes beyond merely buying and selling properties; it involves a strategic approach to wealth building and risk management.

I suspect they won't be able to make it and being a new landlord, don't have any experience with this aspect of property management.

These companies typically charge anywhere from $200 to $500, and they take care of the Articles of Organization, EIN, and operating agreement.

Congrats on renting your first property, Stuart!

Remodeling homes into something distinctive and desirable, like entertainment-centered properties, can definitely set you apart in the rental or short-term rental market.

Hello BP Community,My name is Patrick Belanger, and my wife and I (both engineers turned entrepreneurs) havebeen investing in Edmonton and the surrounding communities since 2013, buildinga 32 unit local portfolio of single family homes, duplexes, garage suites, andsmall new-build multifamily (6 and 8 unit properties).

I sold my rental property to buy my current condo and am available to help investors build & grow their portfolios.

It can vary based on the neighborhood and the property's condition, though.

I got interested in real estate investing last year and since then have read several of the BP published books on real estate.I still have a lot of unanswered questions floating in my head but my goal is to buy my first property and some point next year. 

So in theory you could take the 80k and then 1031 exchange the 15k into another property and defer part of the gain.
