You'll see if the carpet needs replacing or the refrigerators are from 1956.Another focus is items that have nothing to do with the physical condition of the house.

I’m assuming they won’t do physical checks.

And thanks for giving so much detail, sounds like you had a very structured approach and it worked out very well.

I was recently approached by a company looking for an outside sales rep (account manager).1- I can see how this position will offer me the more freedom to structure my days to fit both my real estate deals and my sales clients. 2- It also involves travelling around the country, which might give me the opportunity to learn other real estate markets to expand the areas in which I do business????

Furthermore, there is a prohibition to sharing by an covered entity, or any director, officer, employee, or agent of the covered entity, of a SAR, or any information that would reveal the existence of a SAR, within the covered entity’s own corporate organizational structure.

Can someone recommend a structural engineer?  

As a starting point, I'm specifically focusing on coming up with a marketing strategy and a plan for how I'll structure my business, but I also hope to network with other investors in my area so I can better learn the specifics of my market.I'm already learning a ton from this site/the podcast, and I'm looking forward to hopefully getting to know lots of other investors here!

@Bob CollettThere's a lot of things to keep in mind when structuring this, such as who pays the taxes, insurance, etc on the property.

,I know I need to file taxes, do the bookkeeping, screen tenants, have strong leases, insurance, and know a bit more that the average dame when it comes to structural issues and maintenance since my parents were builders.  

You can defer the tax by reinvesting, but must structure a tax-deferred exchange (1031 Exchange) to do so.
