Are you planning to invest there?

What's the plan with the property?

A good real estate accountant can save them thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend that they find a tax accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.I would also recommend that they look for a accountant willing to work with them throughout the year, who can help them strategize and who is responsive when they want to know the consequences of the financial decisions they are making throughout the year.Good luck.

I know a young lady that just did that in my market, so she was licensed just days after her birthday.What are you planning to do with the license?

Quote from @Havital Miltz: I do not know that if someone is in the hospital you can force them to close, I am not an attorney, but I doubt any court will find in your favor, closings do not always happen exactly on the day that is planned, even if everyone is healthy and well, the wholesaler here is not the reason for the delay so I am not sure what exactly you can sue him/her for, they are also being held up due to the seller not being wellJust give the person some time to get out of the hospital, closing will probably not happen the very next day either, this is really extenuating circumstance. 

Almost every realtor has several investors ready to invest at least $2 million in cash.If you’re planning to use hard money loans, agents won’t show properties without prior proof of funds.I’m curious, is this a general market trend in Ohio or just this particular realtor’s approach?

I plan to use a HELOC but would be interested in the thoughts of others in BPs on this approach or recommendations if there are other ways to financing that I should consider.

There's other items such as this where it may be helpful to talk to a CPA/EA for a little tax planning, especially since you'll likely get caught up in the passive activity loss limitations if taking bonus on a single rental property as I often see.It's also useful to mention that even if you do the cost seg study (I'm assuming you're doing one to be talking about this), you'll still benefit from accelerated depreciation in the form of shorter useful lives on the assets where you received bonus from.

Just keep in mind the process can take a little longer since you’d need to work with contractors and follow FHA’s requirements.4.Your End Game: Whether you’re planning to stay long-term, rent it out, or sell once the work is done, it’s important to have your exit strategy mapped out.

I've done and been a part of many Chicago zoning changes...they take a very long time and a lot of upfront money...unless you are planning to add multiple units and do a full renovation, the ROI is probably not there.
