I may have someone for the down payment, or take out a portion of HELOC as a down payment, as I have quite a bit of equity on my home.I've tried doing the calculations and have come up with (roughly), a property that doesn't cashflow based on my calculations (which could be wrong)Not cashflowing? 

Luckily I can help you with many scenarios based on your goals with this home. 

Never used that rules nor any rules set by the gurus and somehow build up a portfolio that allowed my to exit the corporate world.I find those rules are an obstacles for my clients and slow them down from achieving their dreams.Its better to come up with your own rules based on your personal goals & strategy.

I live close to a HUGE Marine Base.

Send me a message and we can schedule a short phone call and I answer any general questions you have and hopefully get you going.Another option is go to one of your local auctions and talk to people bidding on properties.

Location: Louisiana Disclaimer: I am not an attorney & don't play one on TV.It sounds like the title company did not do much research into the chain of title if they did not see that a succession was not done on the husband (what appears to be the case based on what you have relayed). 

Looking for real estate focused tax advisors for new investors, someone who will take time to explain and advise benefits, best practices and any areas of concern in real estate investing based on our current financial portfolio.  

Make sure you get a home that is gold-fortified as it can cut insurance costs almost in half.I'd be happy to discuss more of my experiences growing up by the beach over the phone if you would like.

If the property does not provide for all three, you should not underwrite or make investment decisions based on the property operating as an STR. 

One tenant has paid the rent on time but one tenant is missing in action, unresponsive to phone calls and won't pay.
