In our view it is one piece of the puzzle.

Hello @Hayden W Gibson,To keep it simple, whether you invest now or wait a bit, having the cash down payment is only one piece of the puzzle.

Seems like a good property manager is one of the most important pieces of the puzzle when picking a market.

The first part of the puzzle would be to have robust General Liability coverage attached to your rental property insurance with a high limit ($1M).

If you are planning to buy OOS with only internet relationships, it can go sour real quickly if you don't vet the pieces of the puzzle well.

Hello John, Finding the right property management company is the most important piece of the puzzle.

Just as an add-on, hard money lenders aren't credit based, but it IS part of the puzzle.

Thanks.Hello Jason, Finding the right property management company is the most important piece of the puzzle.

@Victor BaronichWhat your CPA is probably saying, and that would be correct, is that hours you spend working for your real estate business inside C-corp do NOT count for qualifying as REPro and probably kill REPro.What is puzzling to me is that REPro would be useless if your rentals are inside a C-corp anyway, and rentals should not be inside a C-corp to begin with.Your setup seems to be very detrimental, as @Eamonn McElroy mentioned.

By leveraging the remainder you get the added ROE and arbitrage on interest.Treat it like one big jig saw puzzle - that pays you to put it together!!
