You can deduct anything that is spent to find, own and manage an investment property including auto epenses.

I have plenty of cash reserves, just not ideal income numbers.

It could just be that in your market you will not find the ideal 4-plex.

Do you have an auto loan?

The first thing I would recommend is a good Auto Responder.

For a small business, web based solutions are ideal because I don’t have to manage a network and IT structure.

With the exception of the auto-belt, the sectors of the country that have property declination, also enjoyed the most appreciation; leading to a flatter yield curve as a national trend.

Also instead of 20% being ideal they'll be looking for 25% ownership for the best rates.

But don't worry by the sounds of it, you might be right in that it wasn't the ideal flip.

Misc expenses (5%) : -1500 (paint, bushes, etc)Cost to Sell (5%) 3: - N/A cash flowMax Purchase Price : Additional (Not covered by loan) expenses : N/AIt would be the ideal cash flow investment.
