I'm not sure how attractive the numbers will be however when looking at HOA dues, insurance, taxes & the unpredictability of future costs with HOA dues.

Hi @Ken Almira - once you have narrowed your market, make sure you build a team from the start so you'll get the best education in that particular area.

They would get that $500K tax free and the rest of the tax would be deferred in the 1031.A very elegant solution that puts $500K tax free in their hands now. 

Same answer as above.If a tenant doesn’t understand things break and will require fixing now and again, they need to move into a brand new build.

Unless the borrower is self employed and takes a lot of expenses to show lower income on their returns then it usually makes sense to pay a couple thousand a year in higher interest (you can pay like 4,000 a year in additional interest for DSCR if you are saving 30+k on your tax bill kind of math lol)

3 seperate buildings, parceled as 3 seperate addresses so investor can get single family financing on this, is that correct?  

Raising capital takes building relationships and growing your network.

Building my buyers list for $10k "condemned/burn out" VALUE ADD Homes in Southwestern Michigan (5 minutes to Lake Michigan/90 minutes to Chicago).

Building strong relationships and continually learning will set you up for success.

You might consider: Consulting a Real Estate Attorney – Your emails may possibly prove misrepresentation.Requesting Public Records – A FOIA request might reveal why the city denied you but later approved the duplex.Escalating to City Officials – Bringing this to local officials could expose inconsistencies.Exploring Tax Write-Offs – A CPA might help offset your financial loss, if it is possible.I’d definitely seek legal advice.
