Some were purchased specifically to be MTRs & others were conversions when it made sense.  

The one's I prefer handle everything in house, from purchasing the home, renovating it, renting it, then selling to an investor then managing for them on the back end.

Purchase price: $850,000 Cash invested: $500,000 Sale price: $2,250,000 Purchased , knocked down, built new from ground up What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Any luck on motivating realtors in the area to actually get operating expenses/lease agreements for Jackson County specifically George?

I am currently in the market to purchase a tri-plex with the plan to live in one unit, make upgrades, and rent the other two out.

Happy to connect if you have any specific questions you are looking to get answered or just want a general run down of the investing landscape here.

I signed my purchase agreement, the rates came down today to 6.625 which I locked in for.

Once the 1031 is complete the LLC dissolves and again the property is distributed to the former members, including the properties just purchased in the 1031 exchange (which each member probably picked out for themselves).This method solved the feared "held for investment" issue. 

I would love to purchase a property that has done all of the work already, and cashflows. 

I have helped many investors purchase LTRs in Little Rock,AR, Memphis,TN, and OKC.
