My fiance and I are just beginning our real estate investor journey and excited to be apart of the BiggerPockets community. 

It will be hard to use your daughter's special buying status and do a 1031.

Generally, I’ve heard there’s demand for both unfurnished long-term rentals (LTR) and furnished mid-term rentals (MTR) in Anaheim, but that’s very general and hearsay.If you haven’t already, it’s a good idea to look at rental comps in your specific area of Anaheim.

My fix and flip has recently been broken into and they stole from the property I was wondering what security measures do experienced flippers use to keep burglary from happening? 

The capital stack is approx 70% debt, 5% pref equity and 25% common equity.

I’ve been reading books and dabbling in the stock market and things of that nature.

Long vacancies (6 months+), ridiculous turn times and costs, surprise add-on fees, several days to answer questions, and then responses incomplete.   

We use 2 wall colors for simplicity and ease of repair.

My Fiancee and I moved to New Bern NC about a year ago now.

Your friends and family know you on a personal level and question your capabilities.
