Hi Penny i'm actually an investor that resides in Odessa as well and my realtor actually just sold a duplex recently and in that area they have several occupied duplexes and some for sale.

I actually moved from Florida to Columbus for the real estate.

The real property investment can be repositioned if it proves disappointing in its original form; it can be refinanced or recapitalized if it has too much or too e pensive debt; inflation over time bales out many bad purchases, and finally the investors knowledge, experience and abilities can be leveraged to turn around a cash flow negative property.I’ll provide an exampleThree years ago we purchased a note from a bank secured by two auto repair facilities with a large amount of excess land.  

If you don’t have a shop, you can still point people to toys, but you’re not supposed to act like you own the shop or start setting prices for toys you don’t actually have.Here’s why some wholesalers avoid getting their toy shop license:1.

We actually had 13 insurance claims from that one storm. 

Since you’re based in NY, Detroit is just a short flight away, making it feasible to visit and get a feel for the market and the team you’d be working with.That said, I’ve worked with plenty of investors who have never actually visited and still built successful portfolios—it really comes down to having the right boots on the ground.

I guess the different strategies FOR ME would be.A- Find a lender that would actually do the refi and pay the tax.B- Sell a property and use those funds to lend as they would go back to the IRA. 

So, the actual increase to market rent will be much lower.

Third, if they have $2bn of agreements (whatever that even means) why haven't they actually started building anything or even closed on the land.  

The withholding can also be stopped altogether, and only actual taxes owed will be collected by filing form MW506NRS at least 21 days prior to settlement and filing it with the Comptroller of Marylands office to get the exact actual tax owed calculated.
