Material Misrepresentations: Norada Capital Management's misleading claims include:a.

Although, it's very capital intensive and you have to rely on a lot of factors you can't control, contractors, interest rates, market shifts, realtors, buyers, appraisers, inspectors, material costs, weather etc etc.

The terms are usually more flexible than hard money, and you can negotiate interest-only payments until the flip sells.Business Credit for Real Estate – A lot of investors use no doc 0% interest business credit to cover down payments, materials, and labor costs instead of tying up personal cash or taking on a loan and you .

Additionally, I created MEC (Material Estimator Calculator), a unique residential renovation software that automatically calculates a bill of materials (BOM) based on the property’s condition.Overall, I’m thrilled to escape the Seattle rain and connect with fellow investors here in Arizona.

This feeding frenzy has driven up park prices and there are fewer and fewer Mom and Pops to take advantage of. 

Listen to all the Bigger Pockets material; it contains so much excellent information.

I stopped at the "right" part.You need to start interviewing PMs in Austin, getting a feel for prices to renovate(hvac, water heater, floors for material + labor, etc.).

@Mitch ProvostFrom my experience of working with over 400 investors, your property near Texas A&M in College Station/Bryan has strong investment potential due to the consistent demand for student housing driven by steady enrollment growth.

However, the tax treatment differs between short-term and long-term rentals:Short-Term Rentals (STRs): If you materially participate (work 100+ hours and more than anyone else on the property), you may be able to offset rental deductions against W-2 or other active income, offering greater tax benefits.Long-Term Rentals (LTRs): If your AGI exceeds $100K, your rental losses may be limited, unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REPS).If you plan to expand your rental portfolio, consider an LLC later for liability protection and easier management.
