To finally use the knowledge I’ve been building up with the bigger pockets podcasts and various YouTube videos has got me pumped.

Things about condos to consider: HOA fee always goes up and has special assessments so you need reserve funds.

I ended up buying umbrella insurance, which should cover most cases.

Some even speculate LTCG tax rates may go up depending on who our elected officials are.

If you consistently analyze properties, recognizing a good deal will be much easier when it shows up.

There is so much interplay with other factors, that even if I looked up my old returns I am still not comfortable doing it myself. 

You'd need to look at how much this loan would cost you, how long it would take to recoup those costs...if you lock yourself in with a 5 year PPP and rates drop in 2 years, you're going to end up having to pay a hefty fee if rates drop and you decide to refinance.

I recently purchased an investment property and as I was adding the property to my BiggerPockets account there was a follow-up question that asked, "Did you work with any real estate professional (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?"

Hello, I own a rental house on a large lot and I'm planning to divide the lot to build a duplex for renting out. I've considered different options, such as refinancing this home to make the land a separate transaction...

If you are the LL, either an attorney can write one up pretty quickly if it's a complicated lease with special provisions, or your State Association of REALTORS should have a promulgated form you can use (I've had people pay me $150 to write on up for them in Texas where I'm licensed).
