I'd imagine that there are partners for every type of deal, situation, financing, and more.

Is it worth it to start looking OOS and for a better cash flow market or like you said, am I just imagining the grass is greener?

That will definitely come back in return for your efforts in more ways than you can imagine.

@Isaiah Jackson I agree with Nick, if you're comfortable living with chaos then go for it...I would imagine you could actually find both!

It was built in 1955 so I imagine there would be some info available.

I imagine after I do my first deal like this and my investors are all happy, that I could use this as a springboard to scale quickly.

I know the rules of a 1031 are pretty strict but I imagine that 20 grand left over just becomes taxable income/cash.

If folks are well off enough to pay 3 months rent up-front they can afford to live in a hotel for a weekend while they find somewhere that fits their needs.In this particular case (especially with mentioning "disabled veteran" which is very common in scams), I imagine they'll pay the 3 months, then just before move-in date will request a partial refund because work transferred them out of the country, and after you do so their check will bounce and you'll be out a ton of $$$.

I would imagine $45k would only cover a light remodel for each unit (new paint, new flooring, new light fixtures).To estimate costs accurately you should really be walking the property and creating a detailed list of the repairs and costs for each item.I would recommend getting The Book on Estimating Rehab Costs to help you learn the basics.I have a spreadsheet in my fileplace that may be helpful as well:https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/drobertson/file/house-flipping-spreadsheet-6-lite

First putting your primary home in an LLC, as a trustee for you or someone else to avoid liability is a hugely bad idea in nearly every case I can imagine due to a slip and fall, or other liability on the property.First LLCs and anonymous trusts are more fiction than fact as to reliability.
