@Iris Olivas Most local banks/credit unions can do this deal with lower fees and potentially rates than brokers.

The key with this is if you want to look into annuities (variable specifically) you'll want to find one that is lowest cost possible.

@Ali Mol In a lease-to-own agreement, the $1,666 monthly credit should be treated as a liability (deferred credit) rather than rental income, as it is allocated toward the purchase price.

With your good credit you can get in to a home for just a few % down.

@Richard Benjamin Wilhite, @Bill B.makes some good points about loan terms and the strict identification rules for a 1031 exchange.I would add from a tax mitigation perspective that buying the largest property possible will give you the greatest amount of cost segregation possibility and at the lowest cost since it would be one study rather than several. 

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

The worst crime neighborhoods are not always the lowest income neighborhoods in KC.

Hi Joe,Using a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) on your primary residence can be a practical and low-cost way to fund flips, especially since the terms you mentioned include only a $200 yearly fee.

The state’s housing is also ranked as the fourth most affordable in the country.Alabama currently has the second-lowest average property tax rate in the country at 0.4%, which helps investors keep more of the money they earn.

The person that bids the lowest interest rate gets the certificate.
