mhmm very interesting i can not speak for the country as a whole but i know that the other day i saw a report on cbbc about warning signs of another collapse in housing because miami phoenix and riverside ca are all very hot now with high prices etc... they also said houston and denver are also high but they are explainably high because of recent local growths in the economies based on small business growth etc.... the warning factor was that it was what happened before the last collapse phoenix miami and riverside were all hit the hardest during the collapse because they had an unnecessary inflation in home values that wasn't backed up by any actually growth spurts in the economy...now i know i may sound like a fool regurgitating cnbc but i watch every day that the NYSE is open for business and a lot of the things they say are BS but than again a lot of it is often pretty acurate and yea if i could go back to when i first moved to tucson (2009ish i think) i would have bought a few 15k houses on the south side because now there all going for 90k move in ready or even 35-40k still needing a bunch of work and people are buying them...

Should I transfer the property deeds to S-Corp or LLC and grow the company?

A lot of opportunity for equity growth with Oregon Coast homes for sure!

@Alvaro RodriguezBoth parties in a seller-financed deal should hire a real estate attorney or real estate agent to write and review the sales contract and promissory note, along with related tasks.

@Rudy Nieves Since you are looking at the midwest, which is good, I also recommend looking at growth markets like KC for your 1031 exchange. 

I want to grow the portfolio by buying one or two more properties.

The long term growth for Raleigh is fantastic if this is where you're settled on moving to, but personally I think you will be okay if you're patient and buy smartly, even if it takes a few months, instead of buying a house just for the sake of buying something because you can.

My only advice is to not spend too much time on the administrative tasks, and try to get started on your first deal.

With the help of this great network my wife and I were able to start our OOS investing career at the close of 2017 and we are very blessed and thankful to say that we currently have 5 units under our belt and are in the midst of acquiring 2 more before the close of this year with the amazing growth that we gained from our first unit which we are in the process of doing a cash out Refi on.Alot of people here in the Bay Area think that OOS investing is crazy, that I'm out of my mind and that you can never grow wealth this way and that you should invest here in the Bay and blah blah blah so it was very difficult to learn and go at this alone until I found this beautiful network of good folks doing it everyday!

If you don't want to pay that then perhaps look at vacancy rates, new construction coming in the future and population/job growth in the area.
