As such, we are considering owning the properties in our own names to minimize tax burdens.Our primary motivation for investing in real estate is appreciation, as current projections show neutral cash flow.

Hey everyone,I wanted to share an exciting creative financing deal I just closed that resulted in over $50k in equity, with only $6k cash to close, plus many other benefits!

That way all you do is watch other people do the heavy lifting while you cash the big checks.

I am from North Carolina but manage my current rental arbitrage properties in Medellin, Colombia & Rio de Janeiro Brazil.Now, I am looking to start buying real estate - likely in the Raleigh/Durham area of North Carolina where I am from, but also open to new markets.I stretched myself very thin on my arbitrage business, so my cash is very low. 

Absolutely,I have a lot of clients working in Detroit and it has some great opportunities centered around 1-4 unit, affordable fixers that, with a little bit of work can become great cash flowing investments with lower annual tax and insurance costs.The downside is that you definitely have to know what you are doing as the good properties need some hefty work, and the market is pretty competitive.

Im currently looking into buying land in cash around the harford county area if I can get lucky enough to use the VA one time construction loan. 

One strategy to rapidly increase door count would be to leverage an equity position utilizing a cash out second equity line or fixed second loan as a down payment for a new primary purchase of 2-4 units.

After assuming average repairs and maintenance, you’re AT BEST negative cash flow of $600 per month.

I would just do a cash-out refi with a 30 year loan.

The seller may face a big tax bill if they receive a pile of cash at closing.
