For one, we want to fund you, it's "easier" than doing what you do (finding the deal, getting the funding, making it work).

If a realtor says they can sell your house for more than market value, be very suspicious.

My husband wants to keep his Nevada state residency to file income tax there (NV doesn't have state income tax) but we would like to file jointly for federal income taxes.On the Utah State tax website it says: "A married couple who files a joint federal return may file separate Utah returns ONLY IF:one spouse is a full-year Utah resident, ANDthe other spouse is a full-year nonresident."

That said I am also reading that a higher price to rent ratio may indicate areas where it is more attractive to rent than to buy.  

But it sounds like you haven't spoken with a lender yet so your budget could be higher than you think.If you need a lender recommendation, shoot me a PM.

I may be getting this property back sooner than anticipated.

That's usually where I start, if I have a client that needs a point of recommendation, and I don't already have it.  

Many on here are familiar with the platform, as it's a great way to juice cash flow and the city looks much more favorably on it than AirBnB since Padsplit provides much needed affordable housing. 

As a rule of thumb, the closer to the beaches, the better.  

If you're looking to grow your portfolio, I'd recommend switching over to QBO sooner rather than later.
