We paid $232,447.36 out to 36+ different trades & vendors for this home.This $232K creates jobs and promotes growth because it is spent and recycled in the economy, creating a ripple effect.Congratulations to the Greatleaf Homes Team for another new construction home closing today!

All in for example, 75k, rent 1600, thats 2% + That gets me going :) 15-20% net, so this is after any forecasted vacancy, repairs, property taxes etc. 

I always make sure that the draws are commensurate with the amount of work (and specifically the trade) performed to date.

I negotiated this property by trading my owned property for this one, as it was a brand new property in an area being developed.

Remember that you’re incurring a vacancy loss every day you don’t have a tenant in place, so you should consider the trade-off here.

All younger people should be considering trades right now as that industry will be paying more and more over time.

@Eduardo Sandoval Ramirez - Absolutely, you are just trading paper for a profit.

I first want to emphasize to real estate investors, the difference between the tax treatment of rental income derived from an active trade or business compared to investments.

My opinion, a rate a buy down isn't usually worth the trade offs vs keeping the cash in hand.

You won't be an expert in all of the trades.
