One year after I used that property to pull a HELOC and this year used that money to purchase an off market 4 family property in Clinton for well under market value, which I just recently finished all of the repairs and upgrades on.

If I act as my own realtor and end up purchasing a property and receive a commission does the broker I'm affiliated with get a piece of that?

Purchase price: $155,000 Cash invested: $60,078 Sale price: $275,000 Fix & Flip property in great neighborhood in Saraland, AL.

My partner and I keep an excel spreadsheet of rent, our purchases, utilities, taxes, insurance, and money spent on contractors.

Unless y'all have an incredible W2 to help with the purchase, you will not find something that "works" in the Triangle and in a good/safe location.

A seller can not sign away his rights in a purchase or any other document.

For experienced investors who have done 5+ similar rehab projects, I can lend up to 100% of the purchase price and 100% of the rehab on light 1-4 unit rehabs. 

You owe two taxes:A. capital gain tax on $150k ($500k sale - $350k purchase)  PLUSB. depreciation recapture on $100k of depreciation taken.Now, let's assume that you messed up somewhere along the way, and you only took $70k worth of depreciation instead of $100k.

I also purchased these while residing in CA!

Even if it's cleaning rooms, get a feel for the operations.
