Looking forward to getting to know more of you.

I look forward to more details.Thanks,Chris

Our lender and real estate agent have been not overly helpful throughout this process, so I can't trust that they are doing everything in such a way to move this forward with no glitches. 

.  :-)Thanks again and I look forwarding to more involvement in the forums as I progress.  

It's great that you are putting your foot forward to take some action toward your goals.

Looking forward to learning more.Grant to answer your question, the only reason to keep a property that just barely breaks even is for the long term hold, hopefully have it paid for by renters and when I retire its paid off.

Please message me if you wanna meetup.Really excited about my trip to the rocket city and looking forward to meeting some of you all in person!

We can put a line on the settlement statement called "return of earnest money" so that comes back to you and only exchange proceeds go forward in the purchase.

Normally, it's pretty straight forward on Turbo Tax, when the expenses to purchase a rental and the income from the rental are in the same year.

I look forward to talking with some bigger pockets members and hopefully meeting some of you in the near future.
