Salem - The State Capital. 

hi everybody,  2 questions here, please need your help:I have done fix and flip before about to close on my 13 deal, but i have only worked with own cash/capital.1.

I'm currently spending time learning as much as I can from various resources including books here on BP, accumulating capital and structuring my strategy. 

However, here are a few general suggestions that might help:Since you’re looking to offset rental income and don’t qualify as a real estate professional, one strategy could be to consider any capital improvements you’re planning in the near future.

We are in a situation, we had sold SFH investment property in March 2024 and didn't buy anything and have about $100K in capital gains. 

starting by just brokering loans is a good way to start in states that do not require a license.. raising capital from private investors to make loans is a long process And very difficult if you do not have a long track record or pedigree in the industry.. if someone is brand new they really need to go work for a lender first.. other wise IMHO the chance of success is very small.

Their advantage is they get equity in the asset for not putting in capital.

Giving up a guaranteed increase in value with them using their own capital to increase the square footage would seem like a no brainer, but how much are you losing if you remove the drive thru and can't put it back.I would talk to commercial brokers and other owners in your area to see the value of a drive thru.

., but if the buyer can show me they have deals, are serious, can speak the lingo, and have capital, then they will have much higher rate of successGino

That way we could either claim expenses as deductions or through depreciation, rather than just as an increase in basis for capital gains if it was our primary residence?
