He showed me what I needed to do step by step, of course this came with a fee.  

@Orlando Johnson- If you were going with 6% real estate agent fees the $12,500 number is incorrect. 

I have family in Houston, Dallas, and the Valley, I was networking with brokers in San Antonio, but the Taxes seem to be quite high as well in that State, although much favorable laws/regs on the landlord side.

Hard money loans offer fast approval and don't risk personal assets but come with high-interest rates and fees, which can be tax-deductible as carrying costs.

If you think ahead, you can minimize recapture with the right tax planning.So what is recapture?

Not that I'm a proponent of borrowing just for a tax break, but the interest is a deductible expense. 

although we bought about 6 years ago or so for 270 put 100k into it so you can do the math  no debt .. hoa 400  we pay utls. 200 or so.. so 600 a month out of the 3500.. tax's about 1500 a year ( got to love Vegas taxs ) value today right at 600k.. so lets say we net about 33k a year on 370k cash .. so not bad little under 10% COC with an outstanding tenant one of the best I have ever had.PS given tenant quality we manage ourselves.. 

You must have the Business tax license & pay all the fees required.  

Be sure to hold a hefty reserve to handle on-going maintenance, capex, taxes, and insurance.

But, there is no coaching or mentorship fee, simply analyzing every property simultaneously and ranking by cap rate.
