if they are pressuring you like this.PLEASE watch the American Greed Episode on Remmington Financial  .not saying these guys wont or don't fund of course.. but when I do my deals with my banks its common that I pay for the phase one and the appraiser directly..  

I care about the rates as it directly affects the bottom line.

@Helena Goyvaerts send me a Direct Message and I will be able to help and point you in the right direction.Thank you

This allows you to report the rental income and expenses directly on Schedule E of your joint tax return, simplifying your tax filing process.

As long as the business portion of the land is at least equal to the amount of your sale  that would satisfy your exchange. 

You must report rental income on Schedule E and can deduct rental expenses like repairs, maintenance, property taxes, mortgage interest (allocated between personal and rental use), and depreciation for the rented portion.

I’ve found that leveraging local networking events, investor meetups, and even direct outreach through social media can help bridge that gap.One challenge I had to get creative with recently was navigating a complex title issue on a property.

I don't deal with any tenants directly. 

If you have please reach out to me with direct message. 

This strategy showcases how buying directly from motivated sellers, renovating strategically, and selling retail can yield substantial financial gains in a relatively short time frame.
