What are the strategies to get 20% down? 

This is not the norm right now, but I do believe over the next several years, we will see more sellers accepting this asset due to its potential and hedge against the deflating dollar. 

Because all we have for credibility is his word and a Facebook page with zero likes on it.

@Raiyan KhanYou can search these forums for vendor recommendations but you can also join a real estate investment club in the area you want to invest and get the same info.

I purchased both as a package and for the next six years enjoyed great cash flow as I paid the tax on the house lot annually at about half of what it should have been and neglected to pay anything on the tennis court lot.  

I'm on the fence about signing up.

The FFE and other assets of the business cannot be 1031d anyway. 

That makes the investing and property management a LOT easier.  

The first is that there's no consensus between tax professionals, and the second is that you will not like my personal interpretation.My interpretation is:Until the property is "placed in service" - everything goes into basis.Illustration.You buy a property July 1st.You finish rehab November 1st and put the property on the market.Your tenant moves in January 15th.The property was placed in service November 1st, and it does not matter that the tenant did not move in until the next year.Everything paid between July 1st and November 1st, including interest and utilities, goes into basis.

So far, it’s going really well, and I’m glad we made the shift.For me, the decision wasn’t about issues with self-managing but more about freeing up time and mental space to focus on the next steps in our investing journey.Curious to hear others’ experiences as well!
