It's a fantastic way to grow your portfolio while deferring taxes, but it requires careful planning and adherence to IRS rules. 

Hi all, My insurance company sent me an email last night saying they are cancelling my policy on 5/7 mainly due to shingle/roof damage, debris on premise, and miscellaneous maintenance issues.My insurer has mentioned that insurance has become a stricter process.

If a city wants to ensure landlords meet basic living conditions as a requirement for permitting that commerce, fine - but no tenant should *ever* be allowed to live somewhere without paying the rent.

A 203k is a renovation loan which may be what you intend, but if you are going to remain active in the military, you won't be home enough to supervise an FHA 203k renovation which requires 4-8 inspections just on the FHA side and quarterly draws.

A lot of out of state rental property investors and even local landlords prefer buying new construction homes that need as little maintenance as possible.

There are companies offering interest rates sub 6% for a 30-year fixed mortgage with only a 20% down payment required. 

I do not know who would, I would not, but this contract above is saying the owner of the property would be required to defend an employee of the PM for this instance - someone goes on property collects rent, gets in a fight and kills the tenant....

if this is the case and if you are  able to  handle all the behind the scenes  needs/ requirements   ( or can hire someone that can ) - go for the  change .   

That depends on deal to deal since the condition of each property and requirements of each seller will be different. 

To double your money in ten years you would be around 8% returns required.
