Hello @Eric Tait and @Dave Williamson,I learned about this opportunity and without the benefit of having visited the location, is something I'm considering as an investment with part of funds I have on my IRA.If possible, I'd like to get your impressions on your visit.

No added benefits, just added costs.

In an ideal situation, this kind of deal can benefit all the parties involved, especially if it's a highly desirable property; The seller gets some privacy, the agent makes a few calls, and the buyer has less competition.

There are many other benefits to this strategy.PM does take some of the load off on the front end with new construction, but the new home builder warranties are good in Texas & their warranty services are online.Good for you buying new!

.- Explain the Benefits of Our Strategy: Finally, I explain that by listing on the MLS as part of our exit strategy, we’re simply maximizing the exposure of the property to potential buyers.

If you buy aggressively every year, you can refinance several deals in 5-7 years and buy the same property and afford it with the cashflow from those rentals all while you have equity gains and appreciation with tax benefits and cashflow.

Lastly, they don't get a hit on their taxes until they receive their money, which is a benefit to the seller that is easily over looked. 

Had I held onto that house, I would have benefitted greatly from higher CA appreciation, but on the other hand, I was able to benefit from higher cashflow.

You may also benefit from taking a more personal approach to sending out your deals.

They are easy to get started with an the support has been OK compared to others  I am going to jump in here for few questions.Does it make sense to buy RE in retirement account(401K) as the tax benefit and write off are not similarly applicable as outside of 401K?
