Steve,Unless you are cash fluid and have a good chunk of change to continue to buy more properties, I would tell you to pull out some cash.

So I would rather continue to flip one house at a time to build my cash base overtime.

The hunt continues, but that’s also part of the fun.

Right now, most cities are seeing a decline in rent prices and in occupancy and that trend is likely to continue.

There is and will continue to be a shortage of good, affordable housing in growing markets like San Antonio.

This way, maintenance, repairs, and taxes are the responsibility of the new owner, while you continue to collect principal and interest, potentially as tax-free income.I'm not a CPA, just a heads-up 😄, but you could possibly avoid capital gains tax with this approach.

I was the HML he never came into title. but got paid on the hud.State put him out of business. when he got in a fight with a client who filed a complaint.. he actually ended up getting arrested because he did it again.So for him to continue I would charge him a transaction fee to put him into title then 2 or 3 days later the LA turnkey buyer would buy from him. and he got paid as the seller ... that worked perfect we did probably 50 to 75 of those.. until he fell back into his pattern of taking fee's on properties he did not own.. this was as stated Mississippi so that's two states. 

@Jane AbelYou can deduct the registration fee as continuing education. 

Until I get back there, I will continue reporting the lawn and trash issue and notify the landlord. 

I have the same thought process - I will continue to self-manage until it does make sense to spend our time doing it.
