Lived in one side and renovated for a year while cash flowing 20$ a month:) recently bought another duplex at 22 and moved out of the first one now I'm 23 and deployed in Africa cash flowing both of my duplexes which combined net me around 1400 a month.

These people are interested in selling and seeking an alternative to listing with an agent.So, on a cost per call basis, NOTHING beats bandit signs because they are so freaking CHEAP to deploy and people call from them!  

It does increase your cash though and the idea is to deploy that money to get cash flow of it.

If you did not, and started later, the likelihood of enjoying that $500K lifestyle in great health is less likely.That same example, deploying immediately into an area with lesser quality (lesser capital required), and you can likely 3X to 20X the end result after a decade, or two, or three.

I am deployed right now but doing my best to learn and save my pennies.

I am interested in deploying our equity so that we can generate cash flow. 

There are a plethora of solid, legit hard money lenders looking to deploy capital.

While you have your flipping networks set-up you now have nice capital to deploy into quality, appreciating, cash flow producing real estate like multi fam buildings, luxury SFHs in resort areas. 

Would you rather have your money in hand to re-deploy it again?

If you are a rehabber, with excess inventory of properties that need to be rehabbed, the issue is not where to deploy cash to hence tax certs may not be on the radar.
