It appears that fincen has neglected to update (at least) that page.  

Buy houses at 70% of as is value.  

And I always see fixers at a decent price (if yo don't mind putting some money into it).

These can sometimes offer better cash flow, especially if you’re in a family-friendly area with unique features like extra square footage, an ADU, or flexible layouts.

I see you invested a serious amount of sweat equity (and real cash) into turning it into something practically new from the inside out, and it looks like it paid off in a big way.

You should definitely talk to your CPA, which I am not, but...My understanding is that until you actually have a business, meaning a property in services, nothing can be deducted.

I have sold couple of homes in Wayside village by Rausch Coleman and I can help you answer all these questions if you are not already working with a Real Estate Broker.Send me a DM if you need my help.

We have located a good parcel of land at a fair price, only issue is it's currently zoned for residential and we are planning to develop a small, 8-unit apartment on it.

I am going to be lending to an investor on a single family home. 

I have a lot of clients where I only get their DSCR business, but not their fix and flip.
