If you are a buy and hold investor and have no plan to force equity that is a different story.

Please come down and see me and let talk about real estate.My plan now is looking for buy and hold and flips.If your 100% motivated for REI just like i am, come down and meet me.

However, if you start holding properties in an LLC, you don’t want to flip properties in the same LLC.

If they fail to pay, then you can choose to try eviction or just hold the charges until the end of their lease and collect it from their deposit.

This could potentially meet your financial needs by itself as well as provide start up money to do flips or purchase buy and holds

Here are a couple of ways you could structure the deal:Lease Option with Seller Financing: You could lease the property with an option to buy later, allowing you to rehab it while giving the sellers time to find a 1031 replacement property.Seller Financing with Deferred Payment: Structure the seller financing with no immediate payments, allowing you to refinance once the property is appraised, and the sellers can complete the 1031 exchange when ready.Escrow Holdback: Transfer the deed into an escrow account, giving you control without immediate transfer, so the sellers can take their time with the 1031.Third-Party Facilitation: Use a qualified intermediary to hold funds and facilitate the 1031 exchange while you refinance.These options allow flexibility for both you and the sellers.

For example, I have a main account that is for my holding company, sub-accounts for each property, and sub-sub accounts for security deposits and things like CapEx for each property.

Hi Julia,Do you think the concepts from the BiggerPockets book The Book on Rental Property Investing: How to Create Wealth With Intelligent Buy and Hold Real Estate Investing is outdated? 

Depending on the costs and a build to rent approach could work if you'd be willing to hold the properties as rentals. 

The only time I'd say it's an okay idea is if either: The area you're investing in is expecting so much appreciation that you will easily profit off that (watch out for mortgage interest though...the appreciation needs to be higher than what you pay in that and expenses to make it profitable)You have some specific reason for wanting to do it- family ties, future home, major long-term hold, etc.Maybe I'm forgetting another one, but those two are all I have for now...
