I’m curious about how much time you all spend prepping for tax season before your CPA (or tax preparer) officially files your returns?

In addtion when the net investment property is ready or on the ARV you can do the same thing pull cash out and pay off the original amount and use the rest for another down payment.

Join us for our FIRST official launch event for Charlotte NC on January 9.This is a 12 part education series with new topics every month.

You don't need to know everything to get started; you need a foundation to build on, and the rest will come through experience and then refining your education.You can build a basic understanding of investing in 3-6 months.

I would still set aside money for renovations that are need based if you do that and use the rest to invest.

U can check out  ivyridgeestatescanby dot com for my 90 home project in Oregon that I did with my oregon bank and then my website for pictures of homes we built in Charleston SC which is the only market I tagged HML ( lima one) and only one time the rest were done with Ameris bank or Service first bank that is local in the market. its all about the three C's  Character Collateral and capacity..

I think because it's so competitive to survive in California, and being accustomed to high prices, they view the rest of the country as opportunity. 

I decided to look into an official duplex or triplex putting 150K down that has value add with renovations and potential unit add but it wont have as much equity because it will be an on market deal.
