But it can really be used for much more than this and is a good collaboration platform (allows voting/@ mentions/assignments etc).

Thus, real estate owners can benefit from both the gain deferral under section 1031 for real estate exchanges and the enhanced cost recovery deductions of the cost segregation study.

We utilize various forms of technology to collaborate seamlessly with our clients and rarely have issues.If you are set on using someone local, search the BP forums for investors local to you and reach out to ask for a referral.

We view real estate as a way to possibly get out of the daily rat race and enhance our retirement so that when we retire in about 20yrs we will be set.

Unless you talk about 2% addon for 15y additional term, the shorter loan deprives you of a cheap option to finance at historically low rates.You take loan either to afford more property ot to enhance returns.If investment has higher irr than the mortgage rate, take the longer loan.

And you in the peanut gallery- I know, there are interest-only mortgages, but most investors don't use them.)So in summary, and apologies for the extremely long post, I just got rolling and couldn't help myself, real estate enhances the best in investors by inhibiting panic selling during kerfuffles of one sort or another, and suppresses the worst in us, which is our unwillingness to save money on a regular basis.

In the process, you become a nomad, moving from house to house every year, but leaving a growing rental empire in your wake.And during each year, you can dump the money which you save by legally avoiding excessive down payments and high investor interest rates, into rent-enhancing improvements to your current primary residence.Request to other BP Members : Please correct me if I am overstating the legality of using the Nomad Strategy in Central Florida.  

Ignoring one to enhance the other is not intelligent investing.

Unless it enhances your property or adds value I would not do it.

That way you are getting the home owner to take it off the MLS or you are completing his deal with the realtor with the use of terms.. then turn around a wholesale the terms to another investor who is familiar with and knows how to profit from these types of deals.But if its a FSBO well.. call them and work your magic.I hope this helps in some wayeither way, please let me know how it goes, what solution you come up with and your progress.Again congrats on your potential home run and, as always, we are not in competition with one another but in collaboration with one another. as a team we accomplish moreCheers
