I’ve been exploring buy and hold opportunities in my area, and I recently came across a situation I’d like some advice on.I’ve come across a property in my area that I’m very interested in, but I want to make sure I approach the situation the right way.

If you wanted to do a 1031 exchange down the road to use that equity and trade up then that'd be a good idea.The homes I’m looking at buying are in the 330,000-350,000 range.

The first is that there's no consensus between tax professionals, and the second is that you will not like my personal interpretation.My interpretation is:Until the property is "placed in service" - everything goes into basis.Illustration.You buy a property July 1st.You finish rehab November 1st and put the property on the market.Your tenant moves in January 15th.The property was placed in service November 1st, and it does not matter that the tenant did not move in until the next year.Everything paid between July 1st and November 1st, including interest and utilities, goes into basis.

@Brett Riemensniderwe don't know all the details, but as i said that's a very expensive way to buy property - if you can't afford a property without overleveraging then you might just have to save up more.

So to answer your question, I don't think buying the cash buyer data feed is necessary.

In your opinion, is a DSCR loan one of the best options if you are wanting to predominantly buy and hold in your acquisition Stategy?

Hello all,I'm looking to buy my first multi-family.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment in Madison.

Not realizing I was only getting a few hundred a month from it and from a cash-on-cash perspective I'd have been better off buying TBills with the click of a button instead of all the hard work, stress, time, and planning I put into it.
