The mortgage has gotten out of hand due to property tax increases, miscalculated escrow, and an increase in my interest rate from an initial buy down, increasing from $2600/mo to $3200/mo.

Should I completely forego the forgivable loan due to certain investment restrictions?

Also, the tax benefits of the buy and holds help offset the increased tax consequences of fix and flips.

Are you having issues with tenants paying the remaining 30% of rents due?

The promise for the prospective agent to represent every flip from the buy side to the sell side is only as valid as the agent's due diligence and work ethic, and trust would need to be built in the process. 

Great point about state income tax, @Jay Hinrichs.

I don’t know how 2 people got 3 homestead exemptions but that seems like something the local taxing authority could catch pretty easy.

I can't post much publicly due to BP's self-promotion rules, but if you have any questions, send me a message, or reach out to our support team who would be happy to help.We have almost half a million users using our platforms daily who absolutely love them.

That said, targeting homes needing work or properties sitting unsold due to poor pricing can still yield opportunities—that's what I do successfully.
