I am super excited about all the possibilities out there and in the process of putting a plan together with the goal of purchasing a rental property in 2022 (Brrrr) but recently i was presented with the opportunity to work for a year with a Property Management company and i am not sure if this will derail me and waste my time or it will help me gain some valuable experience once i start acquiring my own properties.

The 2nd floor unit would need to be renovated to sell it as right now it doesn't have a kitchen and it has some open walls etc...

To a buyer you are then also a waste of time.What you do, is do both.

And it's great that you're so open-minded to remotely owning out-of-state real estate.The Northeast has a lot of high-paying jobs - the best thing you can do is save your income, then take that capital and re-deploy it to Southern STR real estate.I'd strongly suggest NOT getting a property manager (waste of money) & always looking for ways to innovate & improve - there's a lotta money to be made in this game!

Build a wall around the upper level with a door at the top of the stairs.

If it is a small dollar amount of damage, I don't waste time going to court.

There is a chance you do not possess paperwork from that long ago, in which case hopefully the former employer still exists and has records, you can also request tax returns transcripts from the IRS website or by filling out paperwork and mailing it in.Interestingly, banks don't do comprehensive criminal background checks (just for financial crimes specifically, though I've never personally worked on a loan where that came up, guess I'm not on the Wolf of Wall Street's speed dial).

I'm inheriting a bigger mortgage that the tenants will cover just so I can have piece of mind that we don't have our money being wasted in finance fees.

Stick built double wall homes seriously have hidden "Gems" .

I went to a seminar last night and asked the speaker what would she do in my situation and she said DO NOT waste my time with that property or in that city anymore.
