Sounds like you are off to a really good start on your REI journey.I am in Southern Maine, but would be happy to connect to discuss the market and any opportunities that might be out there.

If you want to PM me the address, I can do a search for the owner through my title service and we can discuss further.

I live in a SoCal beach town now, but love the mountains, lakes, etc. as well.Relatively convenient access to a major airport would be valuable to meI hope this topic isn't too far removed from the real estate discussions most commonly posted to the forums, but I thought many in the Bigger Pockets community would have done a similar analysis in their personal lives and might point me in some interesting directions. 

I would at least think it would be worth your while to have a discussion if you intend to raise rent to see if they would be willing to stay.

I can discuss how/why this makes a big difference your in numbers.

2) Whether or not advertising on my own website constitutes a general solicitation to the public for a securities offering.3) Whether or not I need to be registered as a broker-dealer for providing investment advice with respect to recommending the purchase or sale of securities.I absolutely plan to consult my attorney on these questions but I’m also looking for some experience based answers and a place to look some of these things up in black and white in order to have a more productive and informed discussion with my attorney.Thank you everyone!

I wanna be on the same page WHILE you're trying to do something crazy- If you didn't call to discuss/ask and now it's tax time...well I can't change history. 

Feel free to reach out to discuss further.Some comments on the discussion with @Ryan Blake above:- Property taxes.

But the remaining two questions will dominate the discussion:  1)  Where are you getting your debt (and what experience do you have with that lender) and 2) where are you getting your equity. 

If you PM me I'd be happy to discuss!
