Additionally, Cincinnati was aggressive in their QOZ selection so their may be opportunities in those neighborhood which would also be tax effective, if applicable.

What is the best way to structure these agreements to minimize the effect of this? 

The wording you're looking at is probably something like - "if you purchase a property that was shown to you by the agent, or brought to your attention by the brokerage firm during the time period that you had a buyer agency agreement - you will have to pay that brokerage a commission, even it that agreement is no longer in effect."

Otherwise (you have no ductwork) minisplit is the only cost effective solution.

Hi BP,I've been looking into real-estate investing for awhile now and I'm at the point where I am going to be making a purchase.My question is: I am newly engaged and wondering, with the thought of buying homes in the near future, would it be best for my fiancé to purchase this first home together or should I have it under just my name?

Engage in exaggeration much?

I’m doing a cash-out refi on a 2-unit home and am dealing with a tenant who has only paid half of November’s rent, we are in the process of dealing with this tenant but if we go further with scheduling the appraisal, will this have any effect on that process?

LA is going to get the opposite effect.

We want to try the “snowball effect” and to grow portfolio.

@Gary DezoysaRealistically you won’t have to worry about contacting the borrower because the chances of finding abank willing to engage with a potential note buyer where they can’t verify his track record is almost nil.
