There's so many variables, but picking the right market and selecting a marketing approach that is effective for that particular market and that you can execute on consistently is the key to success. 

As far as a discount for tenants, I don't necessarily think that will effect the price, but it may take longer to find the right buyer depending on when the lease is up and if the rent will cover the buyer's mortgage payment. 

I'm eager to start going through this though hope I can make effective progress as I coordinate for a possible sale/1031.I'll keep you posted and hope to soon be in the SS game.Best,Payman

Are you feeling the effects a lot lately? 

Doing the search on Google is WAY more effective than doing the search on the site.

If the PM is paying contractors and remitting net rent, then the filing obligation falls squarely on the PM.Most rental owners will only be 1099ing their PM if the PM is not a corporate tax entity, as the standard setup -- take PM fee from gross rents and remit net rent -- means that you're effectively paying the PM in cash. 

You would pay the tax from you other money, effectively subsidizing your retirement indirectly.

My only real concern is the effect of a shut down of the fracking industry would have on Washington County specifically.

The repayment terms for a 401k participant loan are equal monthly/quarterly payments of principal and interest (typically prime plus 1%) over a 5 year term (longer if used to acquire your principal residence).Please note that if you take a full $50,000 and then pay back the loan, you can't take another $50,000 until 12 months after the first loan was fully paid back.Per the loan offset rules that went into effect with the 2018 Tax and Job Act: if you leave your job and the loan is current at the time you leave your job but then the loan goes into default because you left your job, you will have until your tax return deadline (including any timely filed extension) to make the loan current by depositing the outstanding balance into an IRA (and thereby avoid the taxes and penalties that would otherwise apply).Please keep in mind the multiple loan rules:Under those rules, the sum of the balances of a participant's outstanding 401k loans under a single 401k plan (using the highest outstanding balance of each loan over the last 12 months) can't exceed 50% or $50,000 whichever is less.

As a new investor I don't know how much effect the housing sales market and the rental markets effect each other.
