I'd look at land development as an equity capture tool to generate additional returns. land is a buyer's market in almost every market. you just have to expand what you are willing to do or your strategies.

It needs two sets of new stairs, new doors and paint throughout so i was hoping 15k would cover it.

.- 12/13 the check of course bounces due to her putting a stop payment on the check- 12/13 I was notified that she turned off utilities on 12/12- 12/14 I provided her email stating I would be checking on the property on 12/15 (24 HR notice)- signed lease through August 2018- I have $1650 ($1350 rent and 300 pet deposit) in security deposits- upon checking on property I found that there are no items of value in my property and she had left all keys and garage door openers that I had originally provided her.

Doing my first few repairs on my third door, 🤞🏽 I can stay on budget. 

Like a trust.LLCs do not open some magical door to more tax deductions.I tend to recommend LLCs where the properties are located, but then those LLCs are owned by a Wyoming multi-member LLC.But if you think that you can skip fixing that loose railing and hide behind an LLC when the tenant is injured, you'll regret it.

New windows, doors, Lp siding, fixtures, flooring, Sheetrock, kitchen, bathroom, trim and stairs.

FHA allows you to buy up to a fourplex with as little as 3.5% down payment. 1 unit does have to be a primary for the first year, and afterwards you’ll have 4 additional doors. 

A lot of people decide to bring/raise investor money to the table as a foot in the door, but I also think there is options to be more creative and do the same thing.

The current flip I’m working on is rehabbing the main house and building an ADU utilizing the detached garage with Alley access.

Hi Joe,Is setting up a land trust and make the out of state LLC the beneficiary pretty easy to do or is an attorney needed?
