If you had $50K in a Self direct IRA how would you leverage that to yield short and long term dividends? 

However, after accounting for long-term capital gains tax and other expenses, you would be left with $150k which is important to budget and account for.

Thus it's often more profitable to find long-term tenant than squeezing out every rental dollar you can. - RentReady repairs & vacancies between tenants can blow any projected ROIs.2) Warren Buffet - go where others aren't.

It's also rare you buy these properties with 20-25% and have NOTHING you need to address almost immediately in terms of repairs or capex. 

If not, at least make sure that you get a term sheet.

@Muhammad Kashif Flipping a property in 6–9 months results in short-term capital gains, taxed as ordinary income (up to 37% federally, plus NJ state taxes up to 10.75%).

If you don't want to put a single dollar down then you can just structure a 100% financing with the sellerHey Ko, it’s nice see you again.I’ve spoken with the seller and they want a 10% down.I think I’m going to wholesale this deal if I can get good terms, but every once in a while I come across a good deal that I would like to purchase as a buy and hold.what type of loans would you recommend for traditional buy and hold? 

At the end of the day its about price and terms. 

Also, the term "house hacking" is generally used for your owner occupied home (renting out rooms in your primary home) and that income cannot be used to help you qualify (it is considered boarder income). 

I've helped 6-7 different investors move money from Oregon to Wyoming in the last 15 years and they are all happy they made the move.Consider finding a market that has a better long-term outlook, economically and legally.
