Again, I understand this request may not be so cut and dry.

Do you feel close to pulling the trigger on an OOS place yet?

If not, what triggers a sale?

Lending dried up, and I paused for a bit...Fast forward several years, I decided that SF rentals weren't creating wealth and income at the rate that I wanted, so I decided to do multifamily. 

My advice is, read the fine print and understand the economic trade-offs you’d be making.You can come out ahead, but usually not as far ahead as appears on first glance, so make sure you understand the full deal that you’d be striking.The few that I investigated, I decided limited my future options too much so I chose to pay market interest rates to retain my flexibility with the property/project, or in other cases decided not to pursue the project at all regardless of financing terms.One important thing to look for is whether the financing (and obligations) transfer to any future owner and if so, under what terms, or if they do not, and instead trigger some kind of backout/payout clause on you.Many of those tax/loan programs stretch out over years, and since it’s hard to predict the future, it’s also hard to understate how they can limit your future options with the property.For example, many times we’ll do a 10-year holding projection initially but market conditions after only 4 or 5 years might warrant considering an earlier exit.

that is going to save me a ton of time..I was just about to pull the trigger on the 8 hr pre-license class and order a couple exam prep books as the first step to getting my contractor license.

They connect to most existing camera systems and get real time alerts when there is an event that triggers an alert and then takes the appropriates action (calls management or the police ) to ensue that the premises are always secure.

I doubt this would trigger an audit but any similar items, you could always sell back to yourself.

Luckily, with my extensive (almost obsessive) education of REI, I now have the confidence to pull the trigger.

The pay is equitable, but the one thing that got me to pull the trigger was the time I got got back.
