I feel your pain, I'm closing a flip this month, just committed the remaining funds from my LOC to a purchase last week, and I have found another screaming deal I can't offer on because my funds are light.After a winter full of junk hitting the market I get frustrated when my hands are tied and deals show up.

I guess you need to live in it for the FHA loan, but your current rent is a screaming deal!

All he will do is drop F bombs and scream at the audience to post more content on their social media. 

Portland City Council steps more to the left and further down the education scale with each election.I can't honestly tell someone to buy in Portland proper unless it is a SCREAMING deal. 

I have been here three years.)Am I in a no-man’s land where the tax gods can come and take money or is there some kind of special lamb’s blood I can paint over the four doors to get the IRS to pass by?

Unless a screaming deal comes along that other investors don't see (unlikely) ill be looking into other areas that have potential (though not my main driver) for appreciation with 10+% returns (cash on cash) like Old Brooklyn/Parma/Euclid but are less of a 'sure thing'.Not too much inventory on the market at the moment in some of the previously mentioned spots but I'm going to be ready to jump if something comes up. 

Finally, though cape coral (and most of florida) rents have decreased in recent months, historically rents have increased by 1-3% per year.If I were in your shoes, unless I found a screaming deal elsewhere and I am happy with the current tenant in the home, I'd stay put. 

But nothing screams "trying to save a penny" than painted tile.

This just screams flip to them.

so just be aware.If a lender is loaning a 100% you have to have a screaming deal Period which is pretty hard for most newbies to find.
