Should you set aside additional money aside from capital gains to pay for the income tax increase if you make a profit on a property? 

If they are, a 420K purchase and 475K flip would not make any money at a 30K rehab.

Whether it be a real estate deal or a note deal, we always determine multiple exit strategies and what the downside risk is before making an offer. 

Hey @Will Mejia - I am super familiar with the tax benefits or the cost, but I would connect with some of the local Chicago Solar panel contractors because they will obviously know the cost and have good connections for the tax rebates.You can probably get a higher ROI elsewhere, but if you have an eco-friend itch, I can see why that makes sense.

I also know that this strategy is often used to leverage available cash for multiple deals.However, as a new investor, I've decided to focus on purchasing one property at a time and go through the learning process until I complete a refinance.Only after receiving the funds from the bank would I consider rolling into another deal or multiple deals.In this situation, do you think it's better to still take the 80% loan from a hard money lender, or should I use the cash I have and purchase the property outright?

The foreclosure process is confusing because a large number of the scheduled auctions don't happen at all or don't happen when they are scheduled for various reason.

The local market in Waynesville showed strong demand for updated homes, making this deal an attractive option for a profitable flip.

Unfortunately, I don't have the working capital to procure the land and finance the entitlements process.

They assume adding my name to the deed would make it a better position for me to leverage the house when talking to lenders.
