If you bought the place for $54k-there is no way it is in an area that would support rebuilding. 

This is supported by AL Statutes and should be fairly easy for you since both units are the same size.

The one tenant / one check rule keeps it clean on your end.

With HELOCs, each bank can (and do) make their own rules. 

This would violate the following prohibited transaction specifically:“Sale, exchange, or leasing of property between a plan and a disqualified person.”https://www.irs.gov/retirement-plans/plan-particip...What is more, this same rule applies to round-about/straw-man transactions.

A lot of states require the 2 year rule, although I would check in the PM part of it, some(although very few) don’t require a real estate license to do PM

They exist to enforce rules to protect property values, ensure a clean, safe, functional neighborhood, etc.

@Kevin Kelsey It seems Smartbnb only supports Airbnb and I believe what Tina wants is the ability to sync the same property listing on Airbnb and VRBO etc.

Investing in multi family (4+ units for example) has very different rules than investing in single family homes.

Don't forget the utilize the 70% percent rule and to subtract your rehab costs to determine your purchase price.Using independent wholesalers may give you the opportunity to find better priced deals, but you'll have to do much more leg work to qualify the leads as these groups will not hold your hand as much as the aforementioned.
