@Peter HallidayHe closed it down unfortunately

I have a 5/2.5 house that is close to Tyndall and was debating on renting to single family or possibly renting out rooms individually to single enlisted members(almost like college housing).

See opportunity where others do not; stay connected to the agents and seller while patiently keeping them informed of my motivation to close a deal, and my willingness to wait for the right price.

I was looking at both markets myself, although if I thought of Austin I will likely check out San Antonio as well considering how close they are to one another.

However, if you have a distressed home, physically or financially, then they may be your best option for a quick close besides a flipper like me.Good Investing...

I found an amazing title company and was able to double close on the deal.

Once again, all smoke and mirrors.I am amazed that people such as Nancy Gonzalez, Hector Suarez, Belkis Guifarro, Terry Knight or some others are anything but close to a seasoned real estate investor, could be teaching real estate investing seriously.The meetings are also a sales pitch for all kind of vendors, specially people from Quest Ira, among others.Within the Bid Dog group there is also people trying to sell memberships to marketing coops, such as Erick Rodriguez, Hector Suarez or Erick Beltran.

For example, if you raised rent by $25 a month that is not likely to trigger them moving but it does help control the gap that could develop between your rent and market rates.Each year you skip widens the gap and makes it harder to close and more likely to trigger a move. $400 is tough to recover in one change without triggering a move.I have learned the hard way that I really should not skip rent increases every year, even if they are small.

The tax pro should also work closely with the cost segregation firm.

So, unfortunately, you're likely to pay close to 20-25% on the $400,000 (based on my loose math here -- please check this with an accountant who is familiar with Idaho).
