Any suggestions on this topic.

I'm looking to get into my next home very soon and was wondering what would be the best way to do so? 

I might suggest saving the money and buying at your next post.

I'd suggest either going 100% PM or 100% self managed. 

If this will be an ongoing business, I suggest you set up an LLC.

I do wonder how quickly those 150-ish permits in the north will get snapped up. 

Just wondering if this is allowable especially if I meet the requirements for short term rental requirement for tax purposes like 100 hours?

- I am familiar with the area and can tell the difference between "bad" neighborhoods and have the know how/connections to fix up the home within reason (do not want to go over the 50k).Any suggestions?

I want to properly analyze a property that I have inherited using the Rental Property tool...but since I am not "paying" for the property, if I put $0 in for purchase price, then projected appreciation will not calculate since that is driven off the purchase price...any suggestions on how to get around this and get a feel for projected property appreciation within the tool itself?

Hi Emma,I suggest finding a good realtor that knows about off market properties in your area.
