Unfortunately, many come to us AFTER they bought.

Purchase price: $255,000 Cash invested: $100 Sale price: $260,000 3 /1 894 sqft What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I've had some not happy when I have asked them to split it out.I've tried asking questions to the IRS customer service reps, and didn't have the best luck.While I cannot cite a specific official guidance on this issue, I consider debit cards exempt.

After closing costs, it was about $107K.

*Soon after, I will be moving to the South, where I will purchase a relatively moderate-priced home (less than $350,000), likely a single-family, possibly a duplex.~ I will most likely purchase the first home (multi-family) using a bridge-DSCR loan combo or a FHA203K (3.5-20% down). 

Say they sold the properties over 3 year period and could not sell the rentals together as a portfolio.Could they put the money from each sale into a DST then use the total to buy a expensive rental property?

Now, after doing this several times my success rate is around 1 out 5.   

There are a few options(1)You can get connected with the larger wholesaler firms in the area (2) go through PCPAO site and skiptrace the buyers of similar properties as yours, (3) hunt down the agents involved in the sale of properties similar to yours or go to local REI meetings and pitch it to the investors there. 

The "due on sale" clause is a non-issue here. 

You really have to learn the neighborhoods or work with a sales agent who does.
