I could sell people junk like this but choose not to as I know what happens long term.  

If you decide to go the leverage route, there is no good reason to choose the 15yr option... as @Brie Schmidt  said, you can always pay extra to put it on a 15 year schedule, but the added amount will not count against your debt-to-income ratios when you are ready to aquire additional properties.

Ideally, I want to choose the state that shows the most potential for both being an agent and for investing in real estate.

Otherwise I think you need to choose between being a renter with a voucher or a homeowner with no voucher.  

If I were to take the route of a 1031 exchange and roll the gains into more property, does the property have to be a single property valued at $150k or more, or can the gains be spread over multiple properties adding up to a total of $150k +Also, @Aaron Nelson I would love to get your advice / feedback on staging our 4-plex in the route of choosing to sell it.

I choose less supply, more demand= greater profitability.2. 

You should enforce ALL parts of the contract, not just parts you pick and choose.  

In my opinion you have to choose one or the other to start and then evaluate the results over a period of time.  

Hi - I'm a new investor looking to do my first flip in Connecticut soon.I was thinking about how most people calculate their Maximum Purchase Price by considering the ARV, Rehab Costs, and Desired Profit.Many people choose a fixed number (or %) as their desired profit, such as $25,000.

To help answer your questions - if the landlord chooses renter pay, the credit report is automatically included, which causes the “view credit report” field to be grayed out.
