Hey @Shaheen Ahmed, A lot of deals aren’t top performers right out of the gate, but the key is finding ways to maximize income to offset costs like taxes.Stay consistent with analyzing deals you’ll find an area that works for you.

@Tyler Gates, @Kyle Luman, The QI should not be doing anything for the client other than the 1031 exchange itself. 

I have not asked for a raise on mine I get pretty big ones out of the gate LOL.As for Fico when i had a bunch of mortgages that reported to the fico I had a hell of a time getting even above 700. 

We did remodel on this one with new lighting paint, auto gate etc.  

I'm a fan of gated yards and higher-end security doors and will install chain link and even some wood privacy fencing if I think the house/area warrants it.  

Stopping the flood gates of immigrants is feasible.

While its frustrating as you were told something different, it does not overwrite existing lawsI live in a street that has an easement for the first 15 ft of driveway and we have had several neighbords put in gated entry and brick walls which is in the easement.

If the residence is inside a gated subdivision or a controlled-access buildingthat is governed by an owner’s association, a letter from the association acknowledging the use and grantingaccess to occupants of the rental unit will be required as part of the application.A short-term residential rental requires a Conditional Use Verification (CUV).A short-term rental use is unavailable and prohibited within a residential unit or a room within a residentialunit that is located in an apartment building.

Hi all,
I'm looking for advice and experience in how tough is it to sell land in Mexico living in the states. I have a lot of land for sale off the coast of the pacific. Seems attractive for building a vacation home ...

Solid 2-4 unit properties are so scarce in these areas (~21 sales in last 12 mo between the 2), the market simply doesn't allow a buyer with a low downpayment to enjoy any "income" out of the gate.
