That’s helpful to know about the desk appraisals and the commercial notes you used. 

I know my goals align with trying to build generational wealth for my family and trying to create my own real estate business that helps support my family/friends in whatever goals they want to accomplish.

My loan officer agreed that providing a lease agreement before closing will help, but I also need to provide a solid reason for why we are downsizing to this extent.What reasons can I give for making such a significant downsize?

I've been pre-approved and assume I should provide that info, but what else would be helpful that I can send right away during the "interview" process to prove I am seriously looking? 

I'd be happy to answer any questions & help others grow their business! 

Hi I just went in to contract on my first fix & flip in Scranton Pennsylvania, and I am looking for straragies how to avoid paying big taxes for the capital gains, (beside of deducting of the expances).I heard that if I am buying a property through an LLC and then I am selling the LLC not only the house that could help, but I am not sure how to do it or it's really working, could someone with  experience help?  

I have been using a free one called vtiger.it has been going very well for me and my business.I do about 2-4 deals a month and it helps me track all of my projects and investments into those projects and to do lists etc. 

Thanks for any help. 

It helps to start out with money because otherwise you will need to build capital.  

I wonder who is always renting in that area.sounds like a great house hack-  sorry can't help with your questions though- good luck
