@Rahel Ketema we just added mini splits to one of our units in our 180 yr old property in PA.

We have been using Rentometer for many years and have enjoyed the statistical analysis that helps us to determine where we should price our rentals when we go to market.

I was thinking about putting down 10-20% in cash and then seller financing the rest at 5.0-6.0% interest rate over 30 years. 

Anything you know about 1031s might be obsolete in a few years.

I can start with 2-3 properties and have proof of funds and a 4-year business history in the U.S.

@Reitta Seidel, yes.Maybe sharing some of your thoughts that made you post this question will yield more valuable feedback.In my market, single family homes sell all year round.  

I thought maybe I could learn something new, hopefully I am not too old for that.

With a 30 year fixed mortgage hoping rates drop so I can refinance into a 15 year fixed.

That, plus numbers just not making sense unless you put an insane amount of money as a down payment / buy in all cash, and other anti-landlord legislation made me look to a state like Ohio starting in 2021 and ultimately moving to Columbus to focus on building a portfolio and I've been very happy with my ROI both in cashflow and appreciation over the past few years. 

Can you hold on to anything you buy for 2 years before reselling?
