Is this possible to delay or nix capital gains? 

But, my point here was that part of the reason I'm noticing deals don't cash flow is because of the amount of capital I'm allocating to expenses and maintenance as a new investor.

Does anyone know about Easy Street Capital?

it’s certainly more difficult to find and negotiate however I don’t have much exposure   And little at risk capital   Ultimately it’s more enjoyable to me   

I'd rather take my 100k capital and end up with 5 400k houses at 75% LTV making 400/mo cash flow each than to have 1 400k house at 75% LTV making 1000/mo cash flow. 

low cashflow high appreciationNotes purchased in the secondary market at discount to remaining principal balance have the built in capital gain profit with potential for greater ROI thru early payoff or early PARTIAL paydown.  

Another great strategy is to open up a line of credit to help pay for any large repairs or capital improvements for no less than $25,000

Access to Capital: Fix and flip projects require significant upfront capital - not just for the property purchase, but also for renovation costs.

The other is end of service life items such as the roof that would have to be capitalized aka Depreciated rather than written off as an expense immediately.

What is astounding to me is the ready acceptance by the people purchasing these guru programs that with only the guru training they’ll be able to make tons of cash by identifying and tying up all these 40% + discount deals that all of us with the experience, education and capital have somehow missed.
