It’s refreshing to see someone leveraging both traditional methods and community engagement... it’s a solid mix.

It's crucial to consult with a tax professional who understands the nuances of your situation to determine the most appropriate and cost-effective method for your tax filings.

For example, the valuation method is different, and banks lend on it differently.

@Shiloh Lundahl Awesome, thank you ok so having that 10-20k as a buy in is important, to first getting into it.... it helps get those first deals started.... just as an aside : I am also just starting out doing finder's fee methods - with tax foreclosure overages refunds, and assett recovery / state funds refunds... so I think those can help me to get that intial 10-20,000.... it might take me some months, but I think I can get there.... that's my initial plan, at leastAnd if I can get that saved up, then that will help me break into deals....

I'm working on part of an investment strategy and I'm curious about having one more valuable property that, either through a large down payment or BRRR method comes in at 70 LTV, versus using creative financing to have multiple less valuable properties at high LTV.So, assuming all properties would be at just above break even, is it better to have one $600k property at 70% LTV, or four $300k properties at 95% LTV?

If you want to scale using the BRRRR method I could send you a list of properties in terrible Philadelphia neighborhoods where you could easily complete the BRRRR and yes, you could theoretically "scale".

Finding handymen is NEVER easy:( Often, you have to use trial & error method and weed through several before finding one that is acceptably (never pefect) reliable, quality, will fix warranty issues and has decent prices.Try visiting a Home Depot 6-8am on a Saturday.
