I have been wanting to buy this piece of land for years and it has recently become available.

I still have enough room with my VA entitlement for a buy and hold in a couple of years, so I'd rather save it for later!

I will add that to your question of 10% or 20%, you need to ask yourself whether you need the cashflow or not. 10% down would leave some money with which to buy more properties.

Now, I’m rebuilding my portfolio while continuing to help others buy and sell homes.

If you sell for a net sales price of $1 mil and buy for a net purchase price of $700K you will owe tax on the difference of $300K.BP may have a capital gains calculator you can use.  

Yes, you could easily buy a fourplex in Colorado in 2012 with 3.5% down using an FHA loan.

I purchased my first buy and hold SF rental property last year and turned the property into a student rental as it was very close to a local College.

Since you know what you need to buy it at and an average rehab cost, I would say $50-70k for a cosmetic flip, set the ARV based on the sample you choose and doing comps and ask them if they would invest in a deal similar to this. 

Biggerpockets probably not the place to find someone to buy a note against a business as most of us are only real estate. 

If you don't want to put a single dollar down then you can just structure a 100% financing with the sellerHey Ko, it’s nice see you again.I’ve spoken with the seller and they want a 10% down.I think I’m going to wholesale this deal if I can get good terms, but every once in a while I come across a good deal that I would like to purchase as a buy and hold.what type of loans would you recommend for traditional buy and hold?
