@Chris Magistrado - I think there is too much risk associated with remote flipping. 

Hey @Bret Ceren, I did a survey last year (I think) where I spoke with 10 lenders.

There's no reason to provide details, though I do let people know if anyone asks that we do not accept bulk up-front rent payments or anything like that because I absolutely do not want a prospective tenant to think that someone else swooped in with a bunch of cash last minute.

As for the area I am thinking of doing my area of San Antonio and nearby cities.

I was thinking Stamford at first, but the projected rents seem low for the area.I have one comment on the financing, you mentioned a 30-year amortization but then also mentioned interest only, which one is it?

Your father-in-law will want to minimize his tax liability on the capital gain and think about how the sale fits into his estate planning strategy.

Is my thinking correct that homes in highly appreciated areas won't benefit as much from Cost Seg. 

Quote from @Sebastian Bennett: I've been thinking about getting a real estate license.

You will also discover the warranties don't cover as much as you think, and claims are often denied.Home warranties are so bad that most professional property managers will not manage a property with one in place.

I dunno @Mike Francis, this has come up before and I still think that you aren't going to get a ton of traffic from being on there.
