I want guaranteed monthly rents because when I purchase my main focus is cash flow, then equity in the form of added value (renovations, adding extra bedroom, etc).

Then ill build another duplex on the other side. seller is willing to do 25k down and payments of 700 a month for a total of 55k. this seems like a no brainer investment noLand:$70,368Improvement:$0Market:$70,000Appraised:$60,432

If you love an area then it might be a good investment for you.

She can then find a new place.  

Then, block out all the noise and BS that is Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, and god help us, TikTok. 

Then reinvest all the profits for myself and the money lender until we reach a future goal ($600K).The question is, if the money stays within the LLC then I assume that I am paying roughly 20% corporate tax on all profits from each project.

I would give written notice to the tenant of the violation, and then perform a property inspection in 30 days to see if you still see evidence of the violation.

Then it will carry forward in the 1031 as they file your form 8824.

Then move on with what you have learned and try again. 

@Brenda FreemanI think seller finance can make sense when you can get an at or above market price; you don't need the proceeds; you want the monthly income; and delaying the proceeds will make sense from a tax perspective.If you are saying there's an existing mortgage you would have to pay off yourself, then I don't think that makes any sense - why would you want to invest your own cash to make this work?
