NEVER give the tenant any funds until they after they vacate and give you the keys.

Here’s a rundown of my current situation:- Own an S-Corp (landscaping) generating 70k a year- 160k in available cash funds- Credit score around 720- Zero debt- Own one property valued at 365k, 30% equity- Property is rented by the room generating $400 a month after mortgage and taxes- Additional 590sqft house is being built in rear of property for 60k.

I'm saving money. 10% of my checks and additional incomes go to savings and then I throw the rest of what I don't use a week into an index fund.

Can Only a PART of paid OPTION Consideration Funds be NON Taxable ?

Love the focus on connecting with others with the goal of learning and providing mutual value. 

If continuously, then you may be best off saving for a bit longer to save yourself all of the interest that comes with GAP funding in the long-run.

what is the best way to fund renovations on a flip project (other than cash)hard money lender, line of credits, credit cards?

I even get my clients I fund deals for their callers call me LOL..

Because tenants tend to be really stable, they are easy to manage though so they can still make sense for someone looking to park money into real estate with the least amount of hassle (property funds itself, tenants pay off mortgage over time but little to no cash flow).  

@Arn Cenedella The larger syndications that are raising their funds through smaller check writers is a red flag in my opinion.
