The property is located in Florida and I would like to have the property completely vacant for the sale because I know her unit and her mess will turn away any potential buyer.

I would recommend looking for homes that are for sale with FHA, VA or USDA loans as they are assumable and will save you thousands per year in interest costs! 

Purchase price: $1,300,000 Cash invested: $16,000 Sale price: $2,000,000 With just 16k of our money, using creative finance, flipped this house in a ski-in location in about 50 days.

When you do a 1031 you have to spend more than the sale and invest all “cash” received. 

@Alex JacobsBuilding a rental portfolio through house hacking is a terrific idea, particularly if you want to reduce your down payment and increase your income flow.

Hi there,In the process of searching for our first rental property and saw a couple prospective properties yesterday.Thoughts on making a currently single family rental into student housing..Current tenants-month to month rent, been there 3-4 yearsHome is in a prominent student housing neighborhood, would increase rent significantly Would you chance loosing a paying tenant to try student housing? 

This regulation allows property owners to build ADUs on their existing residential lots without the need for additional zoning approvals, which can significantly increase property value and rental income. 

This tool did not show either of the model match sales.

I have three rentals with a pretty good amount of equity and I would like to tap that equity while I'm paying the loan down and increasing my equity as efficiently as possible. 

If your goal is to retire your fiance, your best bet is to increase your W2 income and lower your expenses.
