I'm hoping/looking to connect with any Agents or wholesalers in these areas to potentially capture any BRRR deals that are not on the mls or craigslist.

Are using the blog as a lead source to drive traffic to your website and capture motivated seller leads?  

Get into an area that captures your interest.

The advantage of CapEx spend is that the money spent on CapEx can be captured as asset value and depreciated come tax time.

My SEO strategy probably won't capture them no matter how good it is.

I would venture to guess a fixed rate product would be better, no prepayment penalty, less chance for the "chef surprise" down the road.

While I am sure it is a great area for cash flows, flips/price inefficiencies capturing, the area appears rather stagnant in terms of long-term price appreciation trend.

I am aggressively moving forward as a real estate investor with single family, duplex, fourplex, and apartments; unsure of best option with current residence. 1) Sell home to capture 150k plus in equity to use as capital for real estate investing2) Refinance pulling out ~40k and turn into rentalFacts: home build 2012 - est value 350k - loan balance 163k - 15yr note 2.75 rate - desirable area - 5 bed / 4 bath - rental value 2200 - prop tax 1900Forgive if I forgot pertinent info.Regards,Micheal

@Kirby Davis You're 100% correct - you want to capture the cheaper financing under your personal name, which is exactly what we've done.Speak with a local attorney but I purchase in my personal name then transfer the deed to LLC or Land Trust.
