I would have saved few thousand dollars in inspection fees and appraisal fees if I had known that and I had a friend send me detailed videos.I'm not sure if this information is available in all counties but where I bought in the Indianapolis metro area, I can look up property tax records.

Hi @Kenneth P Ford,I noticed there were a lot of responses of “messages you” so I’m not sure if that is solicitation, but in effort to help you and other reading this - I’ll share experiences from friends in the Dayton market.

Made 260K from sale of first house in Seattle after 4 years, then did an off-market deal with a friend to buy current house and now our equity in this third primary residence is ~500k. 

“Free Lunch” Aspect: Essentially, REPS does provide a “free lunch” in the sense that you can use real estate losses to offset active income now and still have future gains taxed at favorable passive rates.

Would love to connect, both DSCR and Hard Money are great investor-friendly common loans.

I live in Southern California, have family in Tennessee (Nashville), and real estate friends in Indianapolis.

Quote from @Joshua Michael Hauman: Hey BP Community,I've got a friend who is a veteran and asked for my help to get into investing and I'm more than happy to help him out however there a concern that came up.

Check out FilePlace, where user-created forms are available for free.

There are tons of beginner friendly hard money investors on here that will lend to a first time flipper, although it may be a higher rate, their expertise will be invaluable. 

I don't' see a need for a property manager (I use rent redi)  because you have 4 renters under the same roof.
