I only loan money as a presumed gift--if they pay it back, great.

Including a gift card is a real winner.5) I still manage half of the properties myself so I have my list of tradesmen that I know and trust. 

But what IF your real gift is in cash-flowing that house by not requiring leases? 

With a traditional investment property loan via bank, I was told you can not use gifted or use non-certified loan monies on the down payment (note that this is different if you are planning to inhabit the building).

Never look a gift horse in the mouth .

Gold flees the man who would force it to impossible earnings or who followeth the alluring advice of tricksters and schemers or who trusts it to his own inexperience and romantic desires in investment.Take out all the "-eths" and you have sound advice for any business/investing enterprise in 2019!

You can't accept downpayment gifts unless it's from immediate family.)In general, though, the process ain't too hard.

A one-time gift can be a nice gesture for a job well done, but as an investor you are trying to build a relationship with an agent who can see your vision and who is confident enough to do the lower price points now to help you get to the higher price points.

It should be the gift that keeps on giving.Flipping makes you rich...holds make you wealthy.

Thank you in advance for everyone who answers.Anyone who is an investor in the area and answers the above to the best of their ability - Please message me your email address along with a preference of Amazon or Starbucks gift card.
