@Farooq K.The numbers just don’t work in most places with this low inventory, high price homes with higher interest rates.

If you don't believe in it enough to own it than you are a "faker"- Poor or low amount of reviews.

Unfortunately she just hasn’t quite reached the 2 year minimum yet so we’re just trying to figure out if she qualifies for a partial exclusion (doesn’t sound like it), or maybe an exception due to one of the circumstances outlined in Publication 523, or she may just need to wait until after October to sell (1031 isn’t an option as it has never been an investment property, installment sale or putting it in a charitable trust would not work either  as she needs the funds immediately for the next purchase). 

Coupled with this analysis paralysis, they see no money coming in - why even tell some new investors, at least get an on market property under contract and I go Chiate it down at least 10 to 20% below median make sure it needs TLC then assign it just make sure it’s not an Oreo assignment for low money like 150 $2000.

@Peter Shah Depending on what you use the $200K for there may be ample options to save some of this money for a couple of years and then use those savings to fund your next deal.

He might  consider  selling to you and saving some funds in his  bank and  using a reverse mortgage to  purchase the proeprty .   2)  for your side -if you need to keep the down payment low - using the  VA loan is a great idea ...already having a VA loan outstanding you might have an issue  using another VA loan . 

You can find this at either low-end antique stores, or high end thrift stores.

and that return might be low depending on other investments available to you.you can definitely call lenders and start looking at properties and running numbers though. 

Many hard money lenders are hesitant to provide loans solely for land acquisition, and conventional loans have been somewhat limiting, especially for land deals.What is best strategies for raising private funds.

Can you legitimately purchase multiple properties with this kind of funding during a short period of time?
