That said, if you feel like it's worth it to spend, let's say $3k to get a $6k tax benefit, that's still not a bad ROI.

Because of this I have seen lots of wholesalers really rip people off by not doing what is in their best interest (not all are bad though). 

Treat flipping like a business that you want to scale, and you will be successful!  

I did not want to incur the cost but I figured...that maybe....just maybe....sometime in the near future us ADU home owners may be able to rent both units....like a duplex.At that point it will be worth it to let the tenets be responsible for their own bills.Not saying that other ways are bad...they are actually very cost effective if you are living there...but what about as you scale your business and move onto other properties.This of course if your city will allow you to rent both units...the city I am in is tough but things can change as more pressure is being put on affordable housing.Once again...not saying any way is right or wrong...I just did it this way for the reason I just mentioned.Thank you....

There is a tremendous amount of bad information being spread here, so be careful who you're taking advice from.  1. 

I hope NH is treating you well.

I encountered a lot of bad management companies who just drain investors money.

It's too bad, it used to keep me logged in with no problems. 

I don't have a great job, but its not bad.

Precisely today, I heard a guest in the BP podcast (Episode #956) talking about a really bad experience with a "Subject to" deal.Thanks @JD Martin Generally, yes.
