I’ve read quite a few posts about foreign investor financing but most seem to deal with non-citizen investors without US credit or personal tax filings.

My last Tax Deeded Property returned 233% ROI.

Making effort a top priority, I was able to put up some satisfying numbers.On the phone [from 11 July 2024]:📞 11,005 Calls🏘️ 2317 Addresses Reached📌 50* Leads Generated🔎 7* Properties to due diligence phase📆 2 Scheduled Closes💰 1 Closed*Denotes: Database did not track metric from Day 1.The last 6 months have given the groundwork to build on.  

You'll be able to defer a bunch of tax with this purchase.

Here is some key information:Property recently hit the market and has 2 cash offers alreadyThe seller provided a pre-inspection report, which I shared with 2 different lenders, both think it may fail conventional financing due to potential structural and electrical issues (realtor thinks it could pass conventional)Seller has 100% equity but is behind on other payments (not sure of the urgency money is needed)This is my first attempt at an “investment” property so I’m new to thisI see 3 optionsMove forward with an offer using conventional loan pre-qualification-Not as attractive of an offer to the seller-Possibility that appraiser calls out structural/electrical issues that need to be fixed before closing, effectively causing financing to fail- Best terms and fewest loan fees for meUse a rehab style loan such as ChoiceRenovation-Even less attractive than a conventional offer to seller, but less risk of failed financing if appraiser calls out issues-Slightly worse fees and interest rates compared to conventional-Lenders tell me possibly up to 60-90 days closing in some cases, with red-tape for contractor requirements and draw schedules (sounds like the most hoops to jump through during rehab)Use a hard money lender-Most attractive loan option I can give to seller so I can compete-Much higher fees and interest rate for me-need to refinance into a conventional at the end of rehab (not familiar with seasoning periods but I think this is a factor as well)Which option would you do?

I suspect you are due your full EMD, but without going through the offer contract i am only speculating based on the standard offer contract that i am used to.good luck

The only part that Property 1 pays on that loan is the escrow for property tax & insurance for Property 1.Thank you for your insight.You need to look at purchase price to determine cost basis, not how you financed the purchase.

Day traders are not exempt unless they elect mark-to-market (MTM) accounting, which eliminates wash sale tracking but taxes gains as ordinary income.To manage taxes, track trades closely, avoid overlapping purchases, or consider MTM election if trading actively.

When you add purchase price, carrying costs for at least 6 months, materials, labor, real estate agents costs and taxes, do you have at least a projected 10% profit?
