@Johnna Kay Roark in order to defer all of the tax, you must use all of the proceeds from your sale in the purchase of your replacement property.

My CPA told me to check out this company, but they claim to have been around for decades but only have a few trust pilot reviews... all in the last few months so I am unsure.Has anyone ever heard or used them before?

I answer this question often to my borrowers that invest in fix and flips.

I am looking to acquire my second house hack with in the next few months and am in the process of getting my license in order to represent myself in the transaction.

After some initial research, it seems a lot of the available properties in Chicago (where I live) are out of my budget, so I am leaning towards investing out-of-state with the leading contender being the Metro-Detroit area, as this is where I grew up.If anyone has any tips on getting started in real estate investing, I would love to hear them.

Before Black Friday sales close, please could I have your recommendations for keyless locks for front doors so I don’t have to continuously change locks or give out the same code for my lockbox. 

Fellow hosts, curious how others in this community handle the moments when something goes wrong mid-stay.I self-manage a few properties while having a FT job in tech that takes 60+hrs a week.

Thanks in advance  This a single family house?

Don’t force deals—let the numbers guide you, and focus on properties where rehab + ARV actually supports your target returns.
