That's $1,600 per month plus to pay debt, plus at least $400 in taxes and insurance.

Preferably low or no money down as best seller would be one only interested in the monthly incomeI then sell said first property and take that cash to buy the investment I am really wanting and I get the terms I want.only thing I don’t know about yet is, how to dodge the tax on the sale of the initial property?

If you’re interested in investing in real estate, you can consider doing so with a Self-Directed IRA to defer taxes on capital gains until you actually withdraw the funds from your IRA.

Can provide all the benefits from a cash flow and tax perspective.

I assume they collect a proration every month for property tax?

You also don't have to pay state tax on income. 

Worse case I just continue to manufacture them through my fix-n-flip business and buy with seller financing where available.Also, is tax lien investing really viable today? 

.$275000 with 25% down, taxes $4080, insurance is 3000 yr and rents is $3800 month, Water $400 mth. 

If you can rent it for $2,000/month, after fees, taxes, and potential maintenance costs, you’d still make a decent passive income.

This allows us to close extremely quickly, which is an important competitive advantage.I don’t know how to read our own tax returns, and I’m certainly not going to read yours.
