If this is for a SFH and you have owned it for a few years then you can probably get a hold put on the tax increase for a few more years.

Ensure the deal has a solid profit margin by subtracting the purchase price, repair costs, holding costs, and your target profit from the ARV.

Just hear a podcast dated 02/14/2019 were Juan Pablo said he did a multi family 100% Finance and seller holding a note. pod cast titled "stop wasting time with residential mortgages!

Yup half of these ideas are OLD NEWS  I never equate Texas and low tax's LOL also my concern with build to rent subdivisions is not the rent or the first 3 to 5 years but the exit in 7 to 10 years which is average hold time for investors.. 

Sorry, I didn’t answer the second question… again, discussions would need to be had but this would be a long term hold… 5, 10, 15, 20 years.

Changing locks and holding contents hostage maybe.

However I am still on hold with them other than that they do say the fee they will charge which is 5.90 for me.

A good deal won’t matter if your contractor delays the timeline, eating into profits through holding costs.

This is the exact same approach we are taking - information has gone out a few times in our newsletters over the last year and a half, with more details available upon request, along with FYIs to clients at year end or other regular meetings. 

Nothing is truly "passive" and a big misconception with new folks wanting to enter the real estate arena.For example, just bought a 6 unit using leverage and trying to secure a loan was a disaster of a process.I can only imagine what others have to go through on every time they purchase a property using leverage.But then again, I'm bias to the "cash only" approach.The constantly changing conditions, terms, keeping tight bookkeeping records and tax returns in order and regularly manipulating the BS credit score algorithm.Placing good tenants is more a skill then hope.It took me 10+ years to fully wrap my head around using leverage the right way and being able to "manipulate" the system to get better rates with a quicker turn around.Keep being great thanks for your reading and replying to my comments 🙏
