I have been investing in the stock market for 5 years and I am now transitioning over to real estate after doing my research on real estate for the past two years. 

Here is Chatgpt:Yes, you can generally get a tax deduction for donating real property, like a house, to a 501(c)(3) organization, but there are a few important details to consider:Fair Market Value (FMV): For tax purposes, the deduction is based on the fair market value of the property at the time of donation.

If you just take the 13,835 financed at 6% you are adding 83 dollars a month. so a double whammy.Now, lets consider if rates drop to 5.5% in 24 months (not a prediction just a what if) and you could have refinanced at a much lower costs then the above scenario in what you paid in pre-paid and additional interest. on the other hand, if rates for your same scenario after your 5 year payback period is 9, then you will have an asset with a much lower then current market rent.  

Hey @Dan WardWould love to give you some advice , those are my primary markets as an investor and agent helping others. 

I dont believe so but am not an expert on the topic - I do know that in Texas at least, it is marketed for owner occupants first and then after a certain time period they allow investors to put offers in. 

.🔹 Profit Multiple Ways – You can rent the property for cash flow, sell the option at a profit, or buy it later at a pre-agreed price (often below market value).🔹 Great for Sellers & Investors – Motivated sellers can turn a vacant or hard-to-sell property into income while investors secure future deals without a huge upfront commitment.🔹 Ideal in Any Market – Whether home prices are rising or falling, lease options allow you to lock in today’s price while benefiting from future appreciation.Other creative strategies—like seller financing, subject-to deals, and the BRRRR method—can also open doors, but lease options remain one of the most powerful, low-risk, minimal cash out-of-pocket ways to build a portfolio.

@Jonathan LudizacaIt really depends on the market.

Currently we have it on the market but last night via Biggerpockets website I submitted a request for a loan and out of all the lenders Jason Ariazand Sr.

We did this because initially we were just going to build/sell, but I would rather hold on to it.

Flipping houses is a great way to create huge profits, raise private money and create marketing content around your remodels (the reason HGTV is HGTV).
