At some point you can start turning them into seller financed deals and eliminate the tax, insurance, and maintenance expenses.In 10 years California property may double, or not, but you can easily double the number of houses that you own in these markets.

There are ways to almost eliminate these risks but, unfortunately, most developers won't go along with that because it's not in their interest.Since I'm now working on my own development projects, I don't think it's appropriate for me to comment on developers in a public forum but I will respond in my reply to the DM you sent me.

This eliminates the requirement for a new down payment since you are refinancing the existing debt.Lenders typically require:A copy of the owner-financing agreement.Proof of on-time payments (6–12 months).What to Do:Find lenders that offer rate-and-term refinancing for owner-financed properties (portfolio lenders and DSCR lenders often do this).Maintain a clean payment history.” 

It’s unlikely that they would let go their property, allowing a debt of $50,000 to eliminate an asset worth $100,000.

I have found this process eliminates all the bad eggs before you even get to the interview.

There will be a big push to eliminate gas connections in the coming years.

If they won't allow the property to be built on because of zoning then the municipality could be forced to pay for it as I said because they have in essence "taken" the property through the zoning ordinance by eliminating any viable use for it.

Finally- you can eliminate 95% of the troubles and risk by simply having professional and legal screening and management processes, so don't sleep on that piece. 

Carlos,For example, I could comfortably pay 15% annually and maybe even higher.It's very hands on and very active involvement and consists of doing deals...Can turn $200,000 - $300,000 over every 2-3 months doing turnkey or even quicker "wholetaling".Picking up deals lately at 30-40 cents on the dollar.Ramped up in-house acquisitions as wholesalers suck big time.List on the MLS for rookie flippers to purchase at 50-60 cents on the dollar and Bobs your uncle lolProblem with me is the OPM.It's a responsibility and an obligation and a commitment.I treat OPM tighter than my own ehhhI love the saying "If I pay you, then I can F@$# you".My mission in life is to stop getting "paid" as much as possible.The next on my list of elimination are investors/buyers.They are still paying me, thus are still F@$%ing me heheSorry for the brashness lol

Hi members,I recently met my CFP and he concluded that after all these years of accumulation in 401k it's time to take steps to minimize taxes and reduce/eliminate RMD.
