Returns and cashflow are just a piece of the puzzle of an investment.

For my first deal, I would like to stay away from value add because it adds more pieces to the puzzle, and financing may already be a little tricky as is.

@Brendan LawrenceYou’re missing an important piece of the puzzle.

I always found the trashing and housing court shenanigans in the U.S puzzling.

Are you posting logic puzzles to a group of investors much more seasoned than you are?

But I am trying to piece together the rest of the puzzle of the remaining down payment (possibly HELOC) and then finding a BRRRR ready property (which is in incredibly high demand these days) along with rehab financing.

Marketing and screening are big parts of the puzzle. 

I have a lot that I recently purchased using 1031 exchange money from the sale of another property. I have the opportunity to sell it using seller financing, but I'm trying to figure out how I will be taxed and whethe...

This is definitely a complex puzzle to solve.

I really appreciate any help you can provide,A Puzzled Young Entrepreneur
