If your skip tracing provider is poor, it doesn't matter how great your list is.

Also Mid-Term Rentals to traveling professionals, people displaced for insurance reasons, or doing a renovation to their home and needing a place to live for  3 months or more are also possibilities.

Most of the lenders I work with (provided you have experience and a credit score over 660) would do up to 85% of the purchase price and up to 100% of the rehab costs, provided this doesn't exceed 75% of the ARV.As for the idea of selling the land, great idea.

Even when talking with some real estate professionals who would seem to have an incentive to help me with renting out my property, I have been met with serious warnings (they pretty much say don't do it).

Readers should seek professional advice.

Wouldn't hurt to consult a tax pro just to make sure there isn't a more tax effective strategy but I don't think lending provides any tax shelter.

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.
