I get the tax code is a series of incentives or penalties depending on how one structures their financial house.Now if I own a business and invest in real estate, how can I effectively pay zero in taxes?

Usually they will search for apartment brokers or commercial real estate brokers that specialize in apartments  so you're going to need to approach it from that angle.The most effective method to find off market deals is to call the owners directly.

Can I legally have the locks changed while the lease is still in effect anyway?

When I reviewed the actual TD, it said something to the effect of "this TD secures a  maximum of 501K in debt" since it was the TD securing a LOC. 

I don't know if that's an excuse, but at this super early point I don't feel like I should be wasting agents' times for example, risking losing credibility for the future if I know I'm not moving forward at any point in the next few months.  

But if not, it would probably be more cost effective and quicker to evict the tenant yourself. 

I know you are not buying it and you are just wholesaling it... but you may waste a lot of time and effort getting rid of this contract.

You can also check the operating expense ratio (OPEX/effective gross income) in comparison to the comps to see whats going on.Good Luck!

Just be wary in NJ about taxes and the effect of a non-paying tenant.

@Russell BrazilI would argue that the yield if an asset has everything to do it.Why invest in one 6% yield asset when you might be able to invest in two or three 12% yield assets in another market.The point was about judging the effectiveness of the BRRRR method in a hot market.
