@Kyle Rucker- thanks ....you will have a tough time locating a 2nd loan for  180K +  ....Ask the realtor you are working with for options ...Make sure that the lender holding the FHA loan will be able to approve your assumption  request  ( this can be a long drawn out step ) .....if you do find a 2nd mtg - compare the fha loan and 2nd mtg  to a  simple new FHA or conventional loan as there may not be a large difference 

The owner had been living in these conditions for a long time due to mental health issues.It was heartbreaking to see.We agreed on a price and closed very quickly to provide relief.

I lose control of the investment and these are long term, illiquid investments - but they put significant and regular cash in my bank account and a much higher rate than when I was trying to be actively passive. 

In places like Indianapolis, for example, we’re seeing significant interest in build-to-rent (BTR) projects that offer consistent cash flow and long-term appreciation.

Chuck Kuhn plans to submit concept plans in the next month or two to give a better idea of what the space will turn into, but it has been long known the plans there would be to change the Chantilly Stone Query into a lake, continuing the beautification of the area.

With rates expected to be cut next month I would suggest a 3-6month CD to lock in the higher rate as long as you know you don’t need the money early.  

These seasoned investors are focusing on long-term rental properties rather than quick flips, recognizing the potential for stable returns in the rental market.Flipping properties is still possible, but the emphasis has shifted to quality.

From what I have deduced from your response, there is no need for overcomplexity as long as I do not pierce the corporate veil. 

We are currently watching to see what happens this fall.

Now it's a long term rental with under market rent which still nets 40% annual cash on cash return.
