I see way too many Israeli, Australian, Chinese, and Cali investors get taken to the cleaners by stuff that looks good on paper. 

I've done SO many updates to the house, new flooring, new furnace, new central air, weatherized.

Originally posted by @AJ Singh:@Jim WelchCan you reach out to some TK providers in Dallas who could sell it to rental investors and make a marketing fee from you Also if you place a tenant, you could use Roofstock to sell it as a rental property Just a couple of tips  I'm sure quite a lot of 👦 S n 👧 S here.would bail you out.You are brilliant Air. 

Great way to shuffle paper and make money out of thin air :)I think the most critical part of this puzzle is the appraisal after the rehab.

With all that now I’m getting the ac don’t work again so I send out a ac tech I explain to them the the tenants are claiming that the ac isn’t cold enough that the Edison guy that took off the summer saver box off the ac fan told him the ac needs a Freon boost I’m really  now the  Edison guy is a ac tech the ac was running cold now it’s not working .well the ac tech did a leak test ,pressure test and said it was fine  but it looks like it was tampered with he also said if there was a leak there wouldn’t be Freon in the system still so I payed him to fill it up  since there was  few pounds of Freon still in the system he also asked me when was the last time i serviced the ac  I told him about a year ago .he said that long ago if there was a leak  there would be nothing in the system so after paying a few hundred dollars ,now I get another call saying the ac is blowing hot air .so I send the ac guy back  .the same ac guy said looks like it’s been tampered with.so now I decide to pay for home warranty insurance after the second repair and now  the tenants threatened to sue me.for my fist rental this is a bad experience of tenants trying to scam me and the plumber his freind doing fraud.i later called the water company again spoke to the manager this time explained what going on.he said just tell the tenants to call and give a one time to talk about the bill that I don’t have to be on the account so i did they refused again.

There still seems to be some differences between these two however minor.The attorney should be able to help with guiding the legal aspects of doing this.It’s cleaner I suspect if you own the properties out right.I tried to do a land trust and Wells Fargo still gave me grief - luckily that note is paid and I no longer have to deal with WF and hope never to again.

Yes, splitting the property tax accounts would be cleaner, but it is not required for the IRS purposes.

I was curious if any folks who flip houses in the north have considered incorporating solar panels and / or heat pump technologies such as geothermal or air-source in their rehabs. 

I plan to turn the most of the frontage, into an open air recreational/commercial/farm equipment storage lot.

Close in a exterior area and make it into a air conditioned workout roomConvert a garage into a large living areaRepaint outside of the houseChange from typical arizona rock yard to grass in front and back yard.
