Tax strategies can certainly boost returns, regardless of what real estate strategy you employ, but I think asking "do the higher short-term returns make up for the tax consequences" is somewhat backwards. 

I boosted my credit score by a 100 points in the last year by doing this. 

You are running a business, not fighting a moral crusade.

(I locked everything up b4 I left.)The moral of the story, there are good ppl and not so good ppls; nevertheless, we need to always look to protect our interests, this is our business and our lively-hood.

The initial boost will come as people watch their stocks and bonds decline from negative rates and a weak middle class economy, and look to take charge of their nest eggs.

You definitely just boosted my drive after reading this tonight. 

But, as with everything don't lay all your eggs in 1 basket. try some other forms of advertisement, like Facebook, twitter, Instagram, craigslist, for example I don't have a lot of FB followers on my business page but, it get's me a lot of clicks to my website with a $5.00 boost campaign where I can collect data from buyers and sellers.

Moral of the story: I got lucky this time - but when driving for dollars - especially in sketchy neighborhoods  - maybe it's best to stay in the car.

@Steven Morales sounds good.

Would moral grounds prevent you from doing this?
