It seems every potential tenant has at least a few accounts in collections.

I have a mix of residential, commercial and vacation properties and my management company, which deals with taxes, accounting and generally anything that comes up charges a monthly fee per property.

Account ClosedGreat minds think alike.

I already have a portion of my paycheck sent directly to a savings account but that of course earns almost nothing with interest.What are some other interest earning options I can do for automatically saving money so I can buy my first deal in the next 12 months?

Account Closed thanks for the reply!

I'm looking for the best attorneys, lenders, property managers, RE agents, other investors, accountants, and contractors.

I put that money in my rental bank account and don't spend it this year.

Account ClosedWhat equipment do they use?

I'm looking for a good lawyer and a good accountant that understand and currently take care of Canadian's who are investing in the USA.

@Michael Dorr, Again, you've stumbled onto a brilliant application that actually will allow you to take advantage of tax free and tax deferred income and reduce debt at the same time if you wish - or to continue to leverage.If you hold long enough that you qualify for the 121 exemption (having lived in it for 2 out of the previous 5 years) then you would most certainly qualify for a 1031 exchange on the other portion.What you exchange and what is tax free is simply following the allocation your accountant sets up when putting the rental half into service.
