Had a person run a STR out of one of my rental homes.  

Sometimes people don't want to stay in a hotel and would rather stay in a home!

I'm planning to purchase an investment property and would like to understand the typical down payment requirements.

I have a few investment properties, but i am soon to be closing on my primary home to live in.

Most people call the "Non-Owner occupied home list".  

However, if that were the case, builders who are already buying down rates aggressively would be selling more homes, but they aren’t.

Learn the basics of financials in RE, build a strong team on the ground, understand the ins and outs of RE and what market your in, understand how to actually flip the home and what strategy you are doing (Highly recommend the BRRR) as holding homes is where the money is made.REAL ESTATE IS NOT EASY!!!

This can have a very beneficial impact as personal property typically has a much shorter useful life for depreciation purposes than real property.For example, if you are getting a cost segregation study performed on a commercial office building, there will most likely be assets that have been classified as part of the building but are able to be reclassified to real property and depreciation over a shorter useful life such as 5,7 or 15 years rather than 39 years.

Hello, I am new to real estate investing and I have a tentative verbal deal on a pre-market lake property that I would eventually like to make my retirement home (10 years or so).

Typically, these things are set in place prior to close.
