Yet, I struggle to accept that a short-term cash infusion creates such dramatic tax disadvantage, as opposed to immediate financing (which is often impossible or impractical to obtain.)

I was struggle on estimate the price when i do the walk through process.

However, the payment would then be so high that I think we would struggle to afford living here still after that. 

For what they charge I could hire locally to single mothers and other struggling people in my community.I need advice on moving forward.

Hi @Ryan Champin, I totally relate to your struggle. 

I am really struggling to decide what market I want to start off in with the choices being between my own back yard (suburbs of west Chicago), Madison / Southeast Wisconsin area, or Indianapolis.  

Purchasing your first rental properties and establishing yourself a credible investor to the banks is often one of the most difficult struggles that I've heard a lot of new investors face.

I am really struggling to find what I am looking for.

It seems like everybody who comes had some struggles with credit or Back ground or income.I bought the place two months ago and it’s almost completely finished.

Without question it is a struggle, and it is making the market far more compressed now than it should be because you people coming trying to scoop up stuff just because it meets some criteria they are seeing on the page in front of them.
