They will use a simultaneous exchange to go into a fractional passive property investment that are more readily available and and be scheduled more easily for a simultaneous type situation.

But the overall demand to live somewhere that has 17 available units for every 100 renters means to me that there is at least no true crash in demand on the horizon, regardless of what values do or don't do.

Murphy can be sadistic about that sort of thing.IRS tax rules, from what I understand, allow you to deduct repair costs from your income from when you begin to advertise the property as available for rent, not from the moment a tenant moves in.

I have sufficient funds for a 20% downpayment, but am debating if it might make sense to use an FHA loan only and put 3-10% down instead to keep some funds available for seeking out future deals.Loan would probably be in the $400k range, which means3.5% = $14,00010% (MIPS for 10 years) = $40,00020% (no PMI) = $80,000Of course I'd take the 0.88% PMI hit by going FHA which really annoys me given that interest rates are rising already. 

Commercial financing is less available and less attractive. 

That's the kind of place that I go for coffee if available.

@William Strother last week I went to look at a couple of properties and thought "if these are such good deals, why are they still available?".

I will have 13,000 in funds available without borrowing money.

First time starting as a IRO, I have been doing research and came across HAA.org and saw a course available for independent rental owners...I was wondering if anyone think that would be a good idea?

Zoning, what utilities are in place or are available, easements, views,  and what a buyer would intend to use the property for are all important factors.
