The big opportunity here is creating a scenario where both parties come out ahead, especially in situations where the seller might otherwise walk away with little or no proceeds.If you’re considering moving forward with this kind of structure, I’d be happy to assist with running the numbers or exploring funding options to make it happen.

You rarely will get both (at least not right now in this current market).If you want to explore different opportunities within various areas of the Valley, get a seasoned investor-friendly Realtor who is competent.

Well, we were just notified through a neighboring towns police dept that there is now a sex offender within range of us, less than 1000ft roughly.

Be mindful of short-term capital gains tax, as profits from flips held for less than a year are taxed as ordinary income, and frequent flipping may result in self-employment taxes.While profits from flips do not qualify for 1031 exchanges (since flips are considered inventory, not investment properties), you can minimize your tax burden by deducting allowable expenses like renovation costs, loan interest, and holding expenses.If you're considering diversifying into rentals, explore opportunities to benefit from long-term tax advantages such as depreciation and lower long-term capital gains rates.
