How about Sugar Land area compared with Kingwood and Katy areas?

Not to mention the 10’s of thousands saved from using my current lenders money (and I can still use their money as my deal flow increases, or I simply use mine to supplement or gap my deals).

Additionally, any refinances or supplemental loans are reviewed as a return of equity so no tax impacts.

@Vinod Dasani Hi Vinod, yes i spoke to the builder. it was a long, awkward conversation that basically said "we can, technically, get you for the whole 10,000 so you shouldn't back out, Caroline" but it was also fluffed with a lot of sugar coating as to why this is such an amazing investment.

The end goal is to have roughly 5 rental units that are completely paid off and can help supplement my income and potentially give me the opportunity to branch into a different career/lifestyle.The main reason behind the 2 years of living in the units is that per U.S. tax code 121 (exclusion of gain from sale of primary residence), if you have lived in a unit for 2 of the last 5 years, an individual does not have to pay tax on the capital gains for up to $250k of gain ($500k for married couples).

I was fascinated by Deal Dog as a supplement to other methods of finding houses but now I'm concerned about the accuracy and how current the information may or may not be (after reading through the thread).

I wont sugar coat things or tell you there is a pot of gold at the end of the Rainbow.

@Bruce WoodruffNo, I’m supplementing the 97% of scientists with my own knowledge of the data, which I shared a bit if above.

I'm considering the possibility of getting a license at some point to potentially supplement the education and experience here and through self teaching on how the whole process works.

Make sure to check it out.I see you're from sugar land.
