Came in strong with a 70k cash offer with an escalation clause for up to 76k all within 12 hrs of listing. 2 days later I learn my offer lost out and that they had 29 offers.Wow, I thought.

There's no point running out the door at 18 if you're going to be dragging yourself back home six months later.

Make sure you are both very clear on expectations and put it all in writing so there's no disagreement later.

BUT.... it's 2yrs later, that's 2 annual rent increases.

If the Fed cuts rate later this fall you'll have an easier time selling!

Truth be told, very little cash flows well at 7%… so timing also factors into your plans… but rates are expected to start dropping later this year and into next year. 

You're not actually accruing any more debt you're just paying a fee at a later date for the right to take out equity directly without any monthly payment.  

Hello all,Business is going well, and most of you know me as an investor focused Realtor in Omaha and in the next couple months I have the amazing opportunity to scale that business exponentially as the Acquisitions Director for an amazing Real Estate Company (more info to publish later) but I am actually seeking recommendations for a good real estate tax professional who serves the Omaha area.Basically I am already formed as S Corp but I am forming an LLC (potentially under my S Corp) with myself and the contractors I work hand in hand with to renovate properties with the intent of serving under one "legal" roof when we assist investors in finding and renovating properties for investors and want to make sure we set ourselves up as strong as possible.Any recommendations?

**Realistic Timeline**: I can realistically pay off the house in a year, which gives me a debt-free asset to leverage later.3.

Trimming it every year was expensive and it always looked terrible after the trim until 2-3 months later when it had started growing in.
