Hi,I have a house in Denver that I have owned and lived in for the last 27+ of 30 years.

I went with Indianapolis area because I used to live there (moved back to CA, don't like winters) so I knew the market.

I have some family in Fairfield I'm originally from Davis now living in Tahoe.

Your profile mentions doing a 'live-in-flip'.You would want to work with a CPA that is knowledgeable of real estate and also has a good understanding of section 121 which allows you to exclude some gain from the sale of a personal residence.

If that property you purchase has negative equity, are you ok with living there for a longer period of time?

She will drag it out as long as she can if you don't make the call because at this point she's living for free in your house. 

I bought my house 5 years ago with the intent to live in it for a few years and then turn it into an STR.

When we were much younger my wife and I were one of those Section 8 tenants and we lived in that same zip code during that time (it was D neighborhood back then also).

Allow me to introduce myself – I'm Lane Klastow and live in Phoenix, AZ, and I'm diving headfirst into the thrilling world of real estate investing.

Buy a golf arcade instead like Golden Tee with Power Putt Live.
