This way, investors could avoid the tax burden since the operations would fall under a European entity.

We are direct lenders, meaning we lend our own money, for flips within approximately 1½ hours of our home.We walk through every property to avoid surprises and to confirm the rehab estimate.

Renting a garden unit, for instance, could generate $1,200/month but must comply with city codes to avoid fines.4.

Hopefully you have a Checkbook IRA to avoid the red tape and fees of going through the custodian for each transaction.

Quote from @Konstantinos Lembesis: Hello all,I have been monitoring the Akron market for a few months and I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for neighborhoods to avoid. 

I’d love your input on whether this deal could appeal to investors and how best to structure it.Property Details:Worth: ~$300,000HOA: $273/month, Taxes/Insurance: ~$170/monthCurrent Rent: $1,880/month (long-term); next tenant advertised at $1,950/month.Mid-term rental potential: ~$2,400/month (I haven’t tried this, but it’s my estimate).My Financing Idea:Large down payment: ~$125,000 (This is my priority to reinvest elsewhere).Seller-financed balance: ~$175,000 at 4.25% for 30 years.Buyers take over taxes, insurance, and HOA.Questions:1.

So if you buy a 5 bedroom house and rent the spare 4 bedrooms = you can still sell tax-free under the 121 (you just pay back depreciation) If you buy a duplex and rent 1/2 and live in 1/2.

Do you need to refinance quickly to avoid a balloon payment or other financial pressure?

I bought it last year and thus far have: 1) Appealed assessed value to bring down taxes, 2) Got better (less expensive) insurance, 2) Rehabbed 3/4 units, and 3) increased rents $300-$400 per unit along the way.

I’m in the 33% tax bracket through my real job and this could be a big difference in taxes owed if we sold the property?
