You can still make money on flips here though. 

When my business partner and I were still flipping we bought a couple through Auction.com and we always used a private money lender to fund those and our other flips. 

I made my money lending them money to sTudents to buy property..

By using the BRRRR strategy, you only need to put down money once.

I also wanted to benefit from tax saving before the years end with a new property purchase.

If you can rent it for $2,000/month, after fees, taxes, and potential maintenance costs, you’d still make a decent passive income.

I do not have the capital for the property to pitch in, so I plan to use the investors money to secure the property.The interest rate that I will pay the investor is 5% for up to a duration of 20 years.

We own our house in Seattle and are trying to determine the best strategy for our move - what approach would net us the most money over the next 1-3 years.

I had to redo everything they did on my taxes. 

The data they pull from the tax records on how much a home last sold for, often not updated, or completely wrong.
