Currently interested in north Dallas area, Ohio, and properties offered by REI Nation.

I bought my first duplex in Milwaukee 15 years ago, brand new investor, working in corporate, just read RichDad and attended one of their seminars.

If you are reporting it on a schedule E (you are not taxed as a corporation or as a partnership in non-community property states) then no, there is nowhere on your tax return that shows your cost basis and your tax preparer likely doesn't know. 

And even then most between 3 months and 1yr are corporate rentals and at that rare.

Or, would my money be better spent someplace down south or by a National Park that would have year round traffic.My goal is to have a place where my family can spend a couple of weeks during the Summer, pad my retirement a bit, and have a place to leave my kids.Thank you in advance for your input.

This particular neighborhood is known nationally and very prissy.

Here are five important things to consider when making your decision:Certifications & Licenses: Hire a firm with AMO accreditation and CPM professionals to ensure best practices and ethical management.Local Experience: National firms aren’t always better.

I am only looking at lenders that have a legit website, legit contact person, legit corporation and that can provide information up front...to start.  

Thanks @Remington Lyman.Salvatore - as a foreign national there are some constraints for sure.Happy to walk through some options to see if we can assist.
