Hi Max, I can speak about the Columbus Ohio market (as this is the market I specialize in) but yes, there is strong competition here and there are obviously some cash buyers and they will always have a slight advantage.

Personally I like to build with cash to avoid the extra expenses, so I dont actually finance anything until its done and I have decided to hold it.

Imagine making millions of dollars over the course of your career and then having to pay 30-50% every year to uncle sam instead of compounding that cash over time.This is exactly what real estate professionals have learned to mitigate.To reduce their taxable income, they just buy a building every year, do a cost seg, and use depreciation to reduce their tax liability dramatically.Their personal wealth snowball grows much larger and much faster than their W2 counterparts who give most of their money back to the government each year.Following this strategy as a real estate professional is one of best ways to end up with a much larger net worth at the end of your career.

Cash How did you add value to the deal?

Hello, here's my situation:My wife and I own several properties separately.2 of the single family homes combined we have conservatively $150,000 in equity ($90,000, $60,000) I want to use one of these as collateral for a small loan of $30,000 to put down on a high cash flowing property OR have a lender finance the whole venture at a purchase price of $160,000.

Purchase price: $80,000 Cash invested: $80,000 This is a reno- adding a 1 bedroom unit to a three family home.

Purchase price: $550,000 Cash invested: $450,000 6 unit multi-family BRRRR.

Cash Flow Potential: Rental income from real estate held in an SDIRA flows directly back into the account, allowing you to reinvest and compound your wealth tax-advantaged.

They’re a completely different animal with higher-quality tenants, less turnover drama, and steady cash flow.

Purchase price: $350,000 Cash invested: $10,000 House hacking my first home by converting the master bed into an independent studio that we rent on Airbnb What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?
