I urge you to champion legislation that addresses these critical issues.

You focus on one relatively minor issue while missing the bigger picture.You have two properties, not one, for tax purposes.

Once recorded, the owner/seller of the property will not be able to close on the property without addressing this issue, thereby blocking them from cutting you out and selling to another party.Other than that, keep in mind it is VERY difficult to win in court for specific performance to force the seller to sell.Good luck, and keep moving forward!

I understand that there will be impact to the compounding of the TSP funds that I pull out for the loan, but I am speculating if I can buy the right real estate deal, it may offset that impact and get me on the path to accumulating more real estate via BRRRR that will more than compensate in the long term.This would be a general loan from my TSP to fund the down payment for the bigger loan to buy the property .Has anybody had either good or bad experience with this?

This issue is coming every year, and a few tax pros I have talked to are not doing a good job explaining it.Can someone shed some light on this?

Maintenance issue/slow leak?  

Specifically, I'm looking for neighborhoods with a good amount of distressed 3+ bedroom townhomes for sale for $120k or less that require a moderate amount of renovation (no gut jobs or major structural issues) and that will get me a rent-to-price ratio of 1% or higher on the final ARV.Thanks in advance for any thoughts/ideas/suggestions!

Currently a structural engineer so that definitely helps with some of the real estate issues!

@Ferrode Joseph- thanks ...if possible - invest  somewhere you have  familiarity or  connection in as this will  help you  with the unknown issues and problems that arise in the  future  (  eg. 

Anything built before the 70s will most likely have issues with plumbing or electrical, and roofs last about 20 years, and should be permitted most the time on county websites.
