What I meant was avoid markets that are only cash flow markets.

Maybe not meant to sound that way but it comes off like that to me.

we are experiencing something similar with a property in western nc. its a large investment home, in a good area. we offered it at 100 per sqft . we have not had the attention it should have . i assumed it was due to storms , elections, interest rates. i could be wrong we may pull it from the market and finish it.

I would have advised you against an LLC, most likely, contingent on your attorney's legal protection concerns.This is assuming that by "we" you meant your spouse.

If I can get a traditional mortgage through a bank why would I elect to have it seller financed?

Curious of what everyone is electing their SFR deductibles to be?

I “assume” they meant you wouldn’t defer all your taxes if you used leverage on a $450k purchase instead of “spending” all your cash.

I should have clarified that what I meant was that there are PMs out there that will do the most expedient thing and accept a tenant just to receive a quick commission.  

@Vidit Maini Starting your business as an LLC taxed as a C corporation offers flexibility but involves double taxation unless you elect S corp status, allowing profits to pass through to your personal return.For tax savings, deduct startup costs, track business mileage or vehicle expenses, and consider a home office deduction.

Honestly, I never fully understood what they meant—until recently.I’ve been diving into some larger-scale real estate projects, specifically in commercial properties and multifamily development.
