We have been investing in this area since 2009 and have helped many BP members acquire short-term rental property here. 

I think these are prime areas to invest in at the moment due to the amount of capital you can acquire in a years time (even if you're only doing 3 flips a year).

By reinvesting proceeds into like-kind properties, investors can defer taxes and potentially increase their purchasing power for acquiring higher-value properties.Key Differences:While both DSTs and 1031 Exchanges offer tax-deferred investment opportunities in real estate, they differ in several key aspects:1.

Newly acquired property.I knew this renovation was going to be a doozy.

Hello BP Family,I am looking to acquire land in Houston for first multifamily development project.

Hello, I am just looking to polish my acquisitions skills, is there some sort of training for negotiating and acquiring properties, to wholesale?

They do require that a permit be acquired (super easy) and hotel tax get paid (a little more complex but there are ways to make it easy), but otherwise there are no regulations to speak of.  

Analyzing a current property listed for 39,500.ARV x .7 - rehab cost= my max offerARV is looking at 60,000.Rehab is looking  around 10,000.70% of ARV is 42,000, minus 10,000 for rehab, equals max offer of 32,000.I do my best to underestimate ARV and under estimate refinance LTV, this could cut into number of deals acquired but reduces risk of over estimating and having money tied up in the property.

This generally works and lasts a long time, but I have one unit that poses a bit of a predicament:I acquired the property a couple years ago, but the current tenants have been there for 6 years. 

I've been investing for 15+ years and have a reasonably strong track record of personally acquiring and rehabbing 100+ distressed single-family homes.
