Here, this contractor is a pure subcontractor.

The goal for the license is purely  to get access to current and historical data.

Just purely looking at multi-family listed in the area, I see that there are quite a few that meet the 1% rule, but sitting on the market for quite awhile.

There are many different types of out of state investments like turnkey, JV partnerships, just pure broker client, etc.

Keep track of what items are purely for the rental unit and what items are for both units.If it's an item that is technically for improvement of the whole house (landscaping, common area improvements, exterior siding/painting) you can only write off a portion.

I think that's purely personal to each person. 

:P )I am considering this at the moment as well, however I have decided that I will take the courses purely for the education.

@Andrew Gomez do you intend to live in one of those rooms, or is this a pure investment?

So it was technically a cash out purchase but not a pure investor play. 

Though this board did have some pure nonsense-- STRs survive recessions.Few of our closest got burned on this, we didn't commit.
