Majority of deals I've done from wholesalers/realtors are deals I offered $30k to $40k under what they wanted. 

However, don't discount the value an organized and knowledgeable GC brings to your job site and mistaken the value they place on their time for a mark up on materials.  

I understand there is an AGI limit that applies, restricting my ability to write off certain expenses if my AGI exceeds a certain amount.Regardless of what can/can't be written off for my particular situation, I assume the majority of the tax savings I am able to write off would come back to me directly in my tax rebate, correct?

Over the past three years, I’ve been using most of the major off-market techniques.One standout method has always been pulling data and feeding it into a call center to generate off-market leads.

One bad tenant or major maintenance expense can cost you $5,000 - $10,000.Your only hope is to hold the property long enough that rents increase or the home appreciates, but even that could take 10 years to balance out the losses you incur in the meantime.

Are you wanting a review on a marketing deck for major call outs at a high level?  

Like any other system these days it has a lot of features but I use it mostly to organize my data.

@Neal Coppola As mentioned above, inventory has increased significantly for these lots, but with that being said, the overwhelming majority of those aren't listed anywhere close to what I would consider a reasonable price.

The second question is, as my family is looking to occupy the property for the majority of the year, we are wondering if we need to register or seek a permit if we rent it out less than the 90 days of each year? 

It seems that BP is majorly split between those who have never done a deal (probably 80%) and those that have 2+ deals under their belt (20%).
