It seems like a rural setting is about the only place a person could place one. 

so wherever you can be hands-on / in person is best. 

I personally reached out to a local real estate attorney to draw up the contracts.

How do I track my material hours on my investment property in order to take depreciated losses against my W2 income.What is the best way to track my hours to make sure I get to 100 hours and more then anyone other person involved in the STR?

I offered that it was understandable to bump into a gutter and that I would even return half of the deposit.

I had a client of mine that was reached out to one of these buyers who was planning on taking his property, converting it into a boarding room situation, which was illegal and renting it out that way to maximize his returns.

The maximum overnight occupancy cannot be six (6) persons or two (2) persons per bedroom, whichever is greater.

Primary residence, a single person gets $250K of gain tax free, married gets $500k.

They deserve some positive press and love.Another cashflow market I did not see on the list is Lansing, MI which I personally think is fantastic with low property taxes, strong rental demand, low cost of living and service costs with constant economic development as a result of being the State capital.

Any 'investment' can act as a 'retirement'.Roth is great because it is tax freeI personally like real estate also becuase your cash flow is normally shielded by depreciation.I like real estate further because there is less complixities / restrictions when it comes to IRA such as the 5 year rule, year you have to take distributions, RMD, Unrelated Business Income Tax(UBIT).Your goal is to have the best return and the most money at the time of retirement, what is the best way to get there?
