@Gideon SylvanI'm looking to invest in buy-and-holds in the Tacoma area within a year or two, so would love to get in contact with you or your agent as I am not familiar with the area (right now I'm scared of everything in Tacoma).How come you purchase through hard money first and then refinance as opposed to purchasing directly with a bank loan?  

But if you did this every 6 months for the same numbers in 60 months you would have 148,000.00 in profit  as opposed to 15k in profit on cash flow.It is for those very reasons that I personally like flipping homes..if you have deal flow and can keep your numbers in check its pretty sweet.. and in Texas you only pay federal tax if you live there.
