An other advantage of paying with credit card may be that you will not have to send the provider a 1098 tax form (only an issue if the total yearly amount is over $800). 

This is the BEST $100 you will ever spend, and if you listen to Amanda Han's tax book, you'll know it's also likely a business expense for you to write off :) https://biggerpockets.supercast.com/My perfect way to learn from the BP books is to listen to the audio book through the subscription above, then books that really stand out to me I go old school and get the physical copy so that I can re-read it, take notes in the margins, and put post it notes so key points are easier for me to re-reference in the future.

@Anita Z.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, tax planning and financial planning.

Here are the key numbers:Potential purchase price: Mid-$400k rangeAppraised value: Estimated at ~$500kRehabbed comparable properties (comps): ~$580-600kMonthly PITI (with 5% down, including mortgage insurance): ~$3400First-year PITI (with 2-1 buydown): ~$2900Monthly income (after taxes): ~4-5kLiving expenses (utilities, groceries, etc.): ~$1600Savings available: ~15-20% of the purchase priceCash to close: ~$34kRehab estimate: ~$34kRemaining reserves: ~$20-25kTo fully fund the rehab, I’d need to come up with an additional ~$15k in the short term, which I anticipate paying back quickly once the rental portion is generating income.

Give them a couple of options, they already know the unit got foreclosed, most people move to avoid the hassle. 

So how do I avoid talking about airbnb.   

If not, what are property tax sales? 

That's my biggest concern.But I should also look at the tax and long term benefits.

Then there’s this glorious tax season where you realize how many things you get to deduct that others can’t, while sheltering your income with depreciation, and earning tax free income with appreciation.

If you are having a lot of interest and you are trying to avoid multiple showings that take up too much of your time.
