This probably sounds a little like wholesaling or being a Realtor, and it is.If you don't want to spend $1,000's to build this out and take on the associated tasks, there are other, more cost effective, options.I'd recommend looking for potential deals via free (or low-cost sources) i.e. local meetups/networking, Courts (probate & lis pendens lists), Realtors, Wholesalers, properties for sale online (especially those with 90+ days on market), etc.All the best!

The agreements I've seen basically say you are guaranteed nothing, you could lose all your money, you might not be paid on time or ever, you can't rely on any representation made by the GP, you have no control over the operation and other terms and disclaimers to that effect.

For example, if I wrote off $20,000 of deductible expenses for my property in my personal return and my effective federal tax rate was 25%, then I would expect the see an additional $5,000 (25%) included in my tax rebate for that year.

So, this point is effectively moot.

Your note rate will be higher then the 2.75% for sure, but of course your effective rate is higher then that with the 300 dollar of MIP.
