It is important that I not only pursue the American dream, but do so with an upbeat attitude and stay positively motivated.

I found a seller who is motivated to sell his property at a pretty steep discount.My plan is to put the property in escrow on an executory contract/land contract with the condition that the title will transfer once the seller receives his funds.

Indeed, where we pay a REALTOR commission, we are initially under water, but look at the long- term probability the rental will remain in the system.

However, in the inner ring suburbs that I live in, there are quads everywhere, built in the 1920-1960s, generally, and they have remained in demand for nearly a hundred years.  

Please come down and see me and let talk about real estate.My plan now is looking for buy and hold and flips.If your 100% motivated for REI just like i am, come down and meet me.

I could not find the answer I'm looking for when searching.The following example could be used:- Amount invested $100k- Preferred return (5 years): 8% or $8k- Disposition (Sale) (Year 5): $200kThis simple example assumes no cash flow beyond the preferred return, no cost segregation/bonus segregation, and doesn't take depreciation into account.Would the first 5 years of cash flow (preferred return) not be taxed, and only the remaining amount on the disposition would be taxed (e.g. $200k - $100k + 5 * $8k = $140k)?  

  - Core Inflationary pressures remain high.

This would result in the veteran's entitlement being encumbered meaning the veteran only has partial, or possibly no entitlement remaining ie they might not be able to use their entitlement again until the loan is paid off.

Remaining money (less title fees) in escrow is returned to wholesaler (less PML funds and fee if used) with the remaining from the Step B contract.

You still have flooring, cabinets, bathrooms, plumbing, insulation, paint, etc, so all that cost remains the same it would seem.
