There are a lot of groups out there right now that had made-for-TV track records that will likely not be in business in a couple years.Focus on the experience of the team, how long they have been in the business, how many market cycles they’ve survived, their philosophy on leverage, and how many properties they bought in 2022/2023 (a good answer would be few, a great answer would be none).And do yourself a favor and read The Hands-Off Investor (in the BP bookstore) before you invest a single dollar in a syndication.

Remember that as a serviceman, you get excellent benefits from the VA loan that can be used to house hack and for investment properties as you can use your allotment on more than one property at a time.

I’m willing to accept higher interest rates on a line of credit as the overall $$ amount is significantly lower than refinancing an entire property at the above mentioned 6-7%, not to mention restarting the amortization schedule all over again.

:I would have a landscaper visit the property..

So just to clarify- I can deduct the cash investment I put into this flip as COGS when I go to sell the property if it takes more than 1 year to flip? 

I personally wont buy a property unless it has a minimum 40% Cash on cash return.

Start by talking to your banker and figure out how much you can finance and how much home you can buy.

@Darrell Perkins,For insuring a high-value, older fix-and-flip property in St.

I actually just sold an older property because there were too many repairs, so I was hoping to find something more hands off as I am an out of state investor. 

Other items such as having accounts in a foreign country.If you are single/married, with a few W-2's, interest/dividend accounts with one rental property.
