I’ll bet that 20% of those are built in year 1, 30-40% in year 2 and 30% in year 3 and the rest over the subsequent three years. 

I have made my first foray into real estate investment this week, and subsequently I have many random posts flying around the forum, so I'm going to post this several different places...Basically the story is this: Found a HUD property that is a rare gem for my area in Maine, and after having several contractors give estimates, my partner and I decided that it would be a great rehab flip if we could get it for a certain price.We made a bid with him using FHA financing as an Owner-Occupant because 1.) we wanted to get in during the Owner-Occupant initial period of bidding and we do plan on living there for a while during renovations, and 2.) we don't have a lot of money to put down right now because we weren't planning on finding a great deal so soon.The first bid was very low and subsequently rejected, and we don't feel comfortable going much higher using FHA financing in his name because we are so new to the game...

I am still going strong, I have purchased and subsequently flipped 5 properties so far this year, last year I did one.The biggest success we are having is by working with an REO broker.

And not just any buyer but one that needs to find a subsequent end buyer.

I have two rental houses and one I purchased to rehab and intended to rent out, however, I decided to sell that property.I've read through the instructions for the 1099 and know that landlords aren't required to send out 1099s but since I purchased and rehabbed that house with the intent to rent it, only to subsequently sell it, will I need to send my contractors 1099s?

The subsequent investments should be deals you are planning on investing in anyway - they should not be deals you are investing in purely to defer taxes.  

If subsequently rules change - I think they can't force you to adopt those rules..Originally posted by @Hisham Zawil:First post here guys!!

If the series of substantially equal periodic payments is subsequently modified (other than by reason of death or disability) within 5 years of the date of the first payment, or, if later, age 59½, the exception to the 10% tax does not apply.

@James MillerThe reason most people advocate a trust holding title with an LLC subsequently having beneficial interest is so that a lender will not accelerate a loan on the property.  

We are creating private equity fund to pool capital to buy NPLs and we already did our Reg D filing but may not need to for subsequent funds if this is correctly assumed.
