@Angela Simon, If it wasn't your son there is a small chance that your accountant would let you purchase the 50% of the property you don't own. 

Looking to possibly start investing with some whole sale properties and land.

There is a lot to consider before you buy your first property.  

The reality of investing is often much different than people see on social media - you need the fuel to power your investment properties!

This property was in terrible condition, however will a little vision and hard work it paid off.

So, we bought the property 2 years ago, based on the valuation of the property considering income from 6 units.The sale deeds (from 2018- 3 sales) I could get from the City and the property tax statements (2023,2024) show that the property is zoned as 411 (apartments).

Simon, my investment group does lots of properties in Pitt. 

If you do the deal, ensure you have your property taxes set aside, because with seller financing there is not an impound process to handle the taxes and insurance. 

Generally - the depreciation on the structure, mortgage interest, property taxes, repairs & maintenance, insurance, property manager, utilities, vehicle expenses (mileage), professional fees (reports/CPA), home office (office supplies, percentage of utilities, continuing education).

My goal is to help people invest in properties and grow my business, but as a beginner, I'd love some advice on getting my foot in the door.
