my question I stay in the dc area and only do Air b and b or Coprate if you get a person that does not want to leave out of your unit it will take you close to a year to get them out due to the laws please chime in?

I am new to RE investing and I recently purchased a single-family rental property in my personal name and not my LLC.

Several Thoughts here, from someone who owns a successful STR and uses it monthly for personal use:1) don't give away 30%!!!!! 

It depends on what your starting reserves are, but if you have enough for a down payment, I would look into DSCR loans for financing, as you can qualify based on the property's cash flow as opposed to your own personal income. 

This full-time person has now been with me for over 6 months and while it was a scary decision at the time, it was absolutely the best thing I could have ever done for my business. 

As an example, I'm personally looking for long term appreciation to generate wealth in the future, because I make money for my day to day expenses with my current job.

People who did it wrong and weren't able to execute.If you do it right, it’s statistically the best market in the country for cash flow.I'm pretty biased towards Metro Detroit...HOWEVER, I do personally make over $100k/yr cash flow from 16 properties here.

If you want to completely defer all tax  then of course you'll need to line up the 1031 and complete it with the purchase of that property you'll then use for investment (with some personal use) prior to moving in and converting it to your primary.But the other way would be to start a 1031 exchagne in one year in such a way that it's 180 period crosses over into the next year. 

That person put in a written complaint against the realtor. lawyer(s)  said we can re-list our properties after the contract closing date expires.

Not sure where your condo is located and what your current financial situation is but personally, I would rent your current unit out and take the 45K+ you have and find a multi-unit to househack.
