I see taxes as a HUGE potential drain on yield/wealth, and I think reducing Uncle Sam's take should be a priority when considering investment strategies.

Maybe partner with the seller next time or just buy sub2 if it's a low equity house.No way I'd pay closing costs twice, then a realtor, then Uncle Sam.  

Would love to connect - Sam 

Thanks @Sam Leung & @Josue Rivera, both very helpful.I talked to someone yesterday that said in Atlanta, the rental market is just exploding, so we may focus some efforts there and flips at the same time.

I used ODOBAN from Sams club and it worked amazingly.  

Mario Koterba Sam Stout I recommend Susan Lewis, a CPA firm in Naperville that specializes in working with real estate investors.

Thank you,Sam

@Sam Leung have you been happy with you management company?

I charge a pretty penny for my VRBO so I don't worry about toilet paper, paper towels etc.I go to Sams and buy the huge pack and fill up my bathroom closets and don't worry about people steeling TP or paper towels.

It could be in some of their client's best interest to sell a property to pay off Uncle Sam, etc.
