Or, what assets are going to back up the guarantees?

Hi Veronica, It sounds like you're heading in the right direction by setting up an LLC for your flip.

Would love to meet up with you for coffee and share.

I know that RTR positions themselves as “turnkey” but the reality is that they are more of a hybrid model - they set you up with everything you need and facilitate relationships with lenders, insurance, property managers, and so forth - but they are not the actual service providers.

If your home is newer, requires little maintenance, and doesn't experience a vacancy for at least 12 months, your $300 cash flow can build up a tidy reserve to get you through.

They got into escrow, and then the tenant started to create a real challenge for the seller and ended up taking them to court for performance/lot line issues on the property.

This means that when you sell the property, your adjusted tax basis is lower, which increases the capital gain you must recognize.Additionally, any accelerated depreciation taken is subject to depreciation recapture at a higher tax rate (up to 25% for real estate assets) rather than being taxed as long-term capital gains.So, while cost segregation provides significant upfront tax savings, it also increases your capital gains tax liability upon sale unless you use a 1031 exchange or other tax-deferral strategies.You can find your current tax basis by reviewing your depreciation schedule (Form 4562) and prior years’ tax returns, specifically looking at your adjusted basis on Form 4797 (for sales of business property) or Schedule D (for capital gains and losses).Your CPA should be consulted prior to making any decisions. 

This can open up for liability and lawsuits in the future against both the owner and the property manager.

I would love to meet up and chat!  

If a seller wants to sell for future value they need to do what is necessary to bring the value up to that price.
