Hi I would like to know if I can travel internationally while doing private money brokering, as taught by Lee Arnold. 

Save for some unusual complications, you seemingly met all the conditions for your tax benefits.Now, to traps and gotchas.Trap 1.

Padsplit's answer is that no politician will attach the affordable housing industry because this is the only private solution to solve the housing crisis now. 

I didn't have a good team in place, and I had to go save the investment every so often.

No, you’re free to do a private deal.

I understand this is part of the learning curve, and once I can have the PM "release" me, I might consider it and save 3k/yr!

@Rick Soto,Both options have their pros, but here’s a way to think about it given your plan to move in 5 years:Option 1 (10% DP, 2-1 Buydown): This gives you lower payments for the first two years and saves you cash flow short-term.

@Ben Cochran I hope you have factored STR tax savings into your cashflow and ROI as it can be significant.Leveraging equity to purchase a short-term rental (STR) in Tampa Bay can diversify your portfolio and potentially generate strong cash flow, but it also increases your financial risk.While your properties hold significant equity, adding debt from HELOCs or a DSCR loan could strain your finances if STR performance fluctuates or costs rise.

You can take it to private massaging if you want to avoid posting about it.

Since flips are typically treated as dealer properties, profits are taxed as ordinary income.Please make sure your entire structure is properly analyzed for you to save most amount of taxes.
