I became interested in real estate in fall 2023.As of early 2024, I don't have direct real estate experience, but I'm excited to learn from seasoned professionals and successful investors.My long-term goal is to be a buy-and-hold investor of multiple properties and to set myself up for a wonderful retirement.Let's connect!

Here is a good forum: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/530/topics/1056436-clearing-up-confusion-on-tax-treatment-of-short-term-rentals

I would like a granite style, but not sure about the other stone options in terms of what would be best. 

If I own A duplex and lease it to a management company that rents it out as a short term vacation rental there is no UBIT?

Personally, we're okay with properties that cashflow decently, but have long term appreciation upside too.

So, again, don't take their track record over the last few months, in terms of investor returns.  

Regular financing is still an option but if any of you have some thoughts on what terms make sense, I'd love to hear them.

This one is more recommended if you are thinking of doing a flip or a temporary investment since it doesnt have long term effects like the refinance. 

Purchase price: $71,000 Sale price: $275,000 single family home bought and used as a long term rental. switched to STR and held for a few more years before selling to another investor What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I was wondering if you have any bottom line in terms of an initial cash on cash return.
