Greetings everyone.Not sur if this is the right place to post this, but here it goes.I am in the process of buying a second home.

Right now, I’m looking to get started with bird dogging in Western Pennsylvania, focusing on distressed properties and off-market deals that could be good for fix-and-flip or buy-and-hold investors.

Quote from @Ian Hutton: Quote from @Jay Hurst: Quote from @Ian Hutton: Hey everyone thanks for the feedback, I did forget to mention I plan on buying more properties (which is why I’d like to reduce my debt) let me know if that changes any answers, but sounds like paying off the 88k 6.4% interest is the way to go  If you plan on buying new properties do not pay off any debt.

How much does it cost to buy down rate per %?

The Disney/Orlando market is vast, and it's unrealistic to believe you can buy a home that is already nicely decorated with "typical" theming, in a resort area with hundreds of similar homes -- and expect exceptional performance.So how do you find/or create uniqueness in this market?

Hey everyone,I’m new to buying properties through owner financing, and I’d love to learn more about how these deals typically work.

Another option would be to find someone to buy it and do a lease option contract with you.

I make money indirectly when people buy "desktop" because a few of them buy my book on desktop... but I recommend "online" because it makes it so easy to collaborate with your accountant.

I would like to account for big improvements too althought instinctively i dont think i want to buy a property that needs any crazy upgrades off the bat.

If they buy something for your property and you pay them back, it’s just like you bought it yourself—so you can count it as an expense in your bookkeeping.If they don’t get reimbursed, then technically it’s a gift/donation, and you can’t deduct it as an expense.
