Under IRS Publication 523 for 2023 dated February 2024, I qualify as "Service, Intelligence and Peace Corp Personnel" and for "qualified extended duty" (page 4& 5 - https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p523.pdf).

That's the opportunity.I also recommend engaging an 'investment focused' realtor (not the general residential ones) to guide you through the process and provide you with market intelligence. 

The rate the intelligence is growing is out of this world.

AI is good for a first draft of things, not for widespread usage.People are looking to use AI to move quicker, but it only makes you or your product more robotic (artificial intelligence and such).

I'd love to be able to start that way, but it's impossible in my location.Try to run the numbers and see if it makes sense for you, but for most real estate investors, I believe house hacking is the most intelligent/reasonable place to start. 

Long term intelligence of this move is to be seen. 

Then tell us the nature of your remaining questions and concerns as to each remaining aspect, so people can have intelligent, focused, SHORT, conversations with you on each issue you present. 

Hi Julia,Do you think the concepts from the BiggerPockets book The Book on Rental Property Investing: How to Create Wealth With Intelligent Buy and Hold Real Estate Investing is outdated? 

I would assume any halfway intelligent human being would understand we mean "shut and lock" but maybe I assume too much. 

It is for the smart intelligent hard-working folks that understand success is in their hands, and with the right tools it can be expedited significantly.
