Also would want to make the deal enticing fro the owner and not sure how I would do that!

And I agree the tax savings are enticing and I would not mind the long road approach.

In my search for my first rental, I've found an enticing home.

I think there is value in not paying the “dumb tax” on you’re first couple deals but first deals are when $$ is the tightest for investors so you’d need to find a structure that provides enough value to entice paying for your guidance.

I find that when I ACTUALLY have a building sitting in front of me (or a SFR in my case) it's much easier to do the math and figure out if I'm enticed or not.

There isn't much that you can do to improve the Condition of raw land (at least not economically) but you could consider laying out some money to do a building feasibility study, perf tests, well drilling, etc in order to make the lot more enticing to an end buyer.  

This is the hardest skill as an investor is to understand what creates value and where the demand is.That all being said, some flippers are enticed by watching a Fixer Upper marathon one weekend and figure how hard can it be?

But in 1975, that would have been a valid boast and I might have expected that to get me something special.Something that happens when rates are low, is folks find it more enticing to buy down the rate (discount points).

I've heard good things about Campbell River, but I haven't seen anything enticing yet. 

Because I want to create a long-term relationship with my maintenance/handyman person I want to make an enticing offer.
