I purchased my primary residence in Carolina Beach in 2009 and rented back to the sellers for the first year.

I personally like House-hacking as primary choice in this market, followed by a light rehab BRRR, lastly would be flip or long term hold (unless you got a smoking deal!) 

Review for Phillip Vincent: The 3 days to San Louis are worthy but the $31K he charges after that is not worthy at all, he make it sound like what he offers for the $31k is a great value but at the end is just the same you learn on the 3 days, he make sound like a real value and sadly I fall for that, my savings into the trash can 😭

And if I’m talking to fast for you and you can’t keep up Drew just refer above to the real truth and facts from MSHDA on the Wayne County landlord packet that anybody having anything to do with real property management in Detroit should have many of.

Short of buying a property in cash and having it managed at a distance with a professional property manager, I think you'll find that the hassles and headaches of "traditional" IRA real estate investing just isn't worth it.

That would be his issue with his lender.You would have the option of forcing him to complete the deal, he then has to work out the problems between himself and his lender, that is none of your problem or business.Have your attorney or the real estate agent's broker send a strongly worded letter as a warning about the consequences ( a lawsuit he is unlikely to win).

I just finished listening to Norada Real Estate Investments' @Marco Santarelli discuss out-of-state investing at the Think Realty conference in Baltimore.  

I actually had my insurance agent get me a quote before I even called my real estate agent to setup looking at it.All this said, do your market research and you will find a great cashflowing properties if managed properly.

City of Denver requires you be a primary residence to STR the property.

Look at real estate professional status closely, this area of the tax code(section 469) is where I think If you worked with the right real estate-focused accountant you could save 100s of thousands of dollars.
