The ads probably relate to a well known GURU on YouTube who convinces people to spend $12,000 to join his "community" and to send him leads.

@Elizabeth Leb Every dollar of that $20k needs a purpose.

That leads me to believe that this is a commercial property or larger (more than 10 to 12 units) multifamily.

The $200k financing would serve as a purpose to be a downpayment, or do you want the $200k to be the top limit of the investment?

I'm not understanding the purpose of wanting to refi.As for the phone calls, look up trigger leads and how to opt out.

What do YOU look for when roaming a new environment for that purpose?

The IRS views it as taxable income because it’s not being used for the purpose of deferring taxes under the 1031 rules.For example, if you sell a property and only use part of the proceeds for the next investment, the leftover amount (after paying transaction costs, etc.) is taxed.

Just struggling to find any good leads with not much access to mls and other paid services.

Seasonal Slowdown (With a Twist)The holidays always lead to a slower rental market as potential tenants prioritize family, travel, and gift-giving over finding a new home.

I have no w2 job, a lot of toys (need to get a plane), can do what I want, can assist my son to find his way in life (he is leading his 2nd rehab) and if I wanted I have generational wealth (I have given away a lot money the last few years).
