@Bruce Lynn To most people on this thread I would say if you have at least $25k & our at least a sophisticated investor & have 5 years or longer why not consider two things, syndications in mobile homes or multifamily & investing in straight rentals in Oklahoma & Kansas for straight cash flow & high cap rate operating aka above 7%!

4) Does living in the house from 2014-2015 afford me any tax shield from capital gains if I decided to just straight up sell the property without a 1031?

yeah i tried selling it they wasnt giving me enough i raised 9000 dollars toward the negative equity in the car i try not to express myself so much and yes i should have went straight to the point but i never said anything negative or meant to confused anyone its just im a first time homebuyer and have tried everything to get rid of the car so hearing the same options over frustrated me so i do apologize to anyone i offended.

When you're talking about average costs - do you mean just straight construction costs, or are you including soft costs as well? 

I guess my first question would be: If I'm going to finance that larger apartment building in 2025 whether I sell my fourplexes or not, why not just skip purchasing the fourplexes in the first five years and just go straight for that building in 2020?

The sales agreement has a failure to finance contingency that’s pretty straight forward.

- The way I usually conduct my terms, varies from house to house. For address 123 Funny Lane.... I might charge a 250.00 MOVE in fee, With a 1k Security Deposit. For address 356 Cool Lane... I may charge a 100.00 move...

@Laura ShodallOwner financing is actually pretty straight forward.

This was probably the hardest deal I'll ever do and now everything else seems much more straight forward.

They wanted $8-$16,000 with a straight face.
