Paying off rental mortgages increases monthly cash flow but reduces liquidity, while investing in hard money lending offers high returns but is taxed as ordinary income.Buying a multi-unit rental provides tax benefits like depreciation, while purchasing a business can yield strong profits but requires active management.

Hi Dave, welcome to the real estate worldCollin, Denton, and Grayson counties are great picks with growing demand and strong rental potential.

I initially had no clue to the comment so went to permit office.

I would strongly encourage you to buy properties that cash flow or break even.

But I would strongly advise, never letting somebody else do your due diligence on an investment for you. 

not in columbus ohio they don't care about the environment. we are building 7 houses at a time and there's nothing in the way all of this year. new deliveries and prices are very strong. maybe blue states but not something we have to worry about in our local market. land is a buyer's market in most areas too.

One thing that did provide some reassurance is that we took the initiative to verify they own the property through a county property search.

Huntsville, AL, showed—and continues to show—strong appreciation.

Any advice, tips, or scripts for making the initial contact and navigating this process would be greatly appreciated!

It’s been a strong performer ever since.
