hello all -another newbie trying to understand/learn/earn in real estate.

I don't think you can use them to turn passive losses into earned income losses you can deduct against ordinary income.

By contract, tenants can and do absolutely trash an apartment and ruin the carpet in a year or two.I work hard and have earned the right to live in a nice house.

Problems that could be solved or reduced if they sell what they own.If you update your profile with your location that can help a bit.

hello everyone, i'm a beginning investor and i need some help/advice on putting this deal together.well anyway here is my story, just the other day i found a vacant run down boarded up house in a good neighborhood (were the other properties have beening selling kinda high and etc), this propery was listed by this real estate companyso i called the real estate company got the price of the property and setup a walk through to see just how bad it was inside, so the next day we went through the property and man i tell you this property needs alot of worknow at this point i am only interested in wholesaling the property to another investor because i think the rehab will be a little to much for me being a beginner and etc, so i told the agent to make an offer on the property, and after some negotiation the seller said as far as he'll come down on the price is $10,000so here is my problem, the agent said before we can go any farther i need to show proof of funds ((becuase no bank would give you a mortgage on a property like that, so whoever that'll purchase would need to be a cash buyer)) and open escrow with about $2,000 which i don't have any funds ((i just want to tie this property up/get it under contract so i can sale it to another investor)), plus the agent told me that the listing agent of the property is also a rehaber and said if i dont take it he'll take it, and the only reason he's giving me that opportunity is because he's already rehabing a couple of other properties right now ((which i don't know if this is a tactic to get me to get the property faster or what))but here is some info about this deal, the property was listed at $79,900 and was reduced to $65,000 about a month ago, then i got them down to $55,000, and the properties in the same neighorhood with the same specs are selling for $142,900 in good conditionso how to i go about tieing this property up especially when working with a real estate agent, oh yeah something i forgot to mention i even have friend that would be interested in buying the property off of me to rehab it, its just that he wants me to find him a hard money lender to work with......SO IF SOMEONE CAN HELP, PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO, ALL OF THESE PEOPLE ARE WAITING ON ME TO MAKE A MOVE

Longer term holds normally reduces the risk so 5 years is reasonable.

That would reduce the upfront costs?

This will help reduce the supply which now has the days on market figure very high.Many of the foreclosures and vacant listings are homes that were purchased by wanna-be investors who refinanced their existing homes to purchase properties in order to cash in on the boom.
