The seller's LLC pays capital gains tax and depreciation recapture, while the buyer's LLC uses the purchase price as the new cost basis.

But even to this day the money is always the winner not me.. thats how you raise significant capital ..

Figure out the state and federal capital gains tax and depreciation recapture after selling costs.

I have to front a ton of capital.2.

I just need help on finding a path to get my hands on the capital  I highly recommend going and taking @Frank Rolfe's MHP bootcamp but also talk to local banks

A new build needs to perform better than that to make it worth your time, all the risks and capital concentration.thanks for the advice everyone and would be happy to connect with you: @Bryant Brislin @Dave Wells @Leilah Davis @Joshua Stewart I have been building 15 to 20 spec houses a year now for 7 or 8 years..Just curious, generally from start to finish, from closing on buying the land to collecting a check after building the house and after escrow, how long is the process taking you? 

I recommend you budget 5% of the gross rent (for the whole place, even what the rent would be if you were living in it as a tenant) for repairs and 5% for capital expenditures.

@Steve EnglehartTapping into your Roth IRA or IRA for a short-term rental can be tempting, but the penalties and taxes could eat into your investment capital.

At least comparatively to properties in California, Washington, Montana and Idaho, investors seemingly still get a lot of value for their capital. 

2 are not cashflowing with the required expenses for vacancy at 10%, repairs at 10% and capital expenditures at 5%.
