Which do you think will be more competitive, buying from wholesalers or your own referrals?

The input costs for operating a STR are a multiple of what they were even 5 years ago.  

Hello,Does anyone know if you can take a tax deduction for closing costs on the purchase of a rental property? 

If it ‘works’ at 8% it will work at 6% but it will be a lot more competitive for buyers when rates drop further..

There is no cost to you to do this.

The appraisal took 2-3 weeks to perform and the cost was just under $5k.

I was wondering anyone had any suggestions on ways to monetize those 2 acres without a huge up front cost?

And it could cost many, many thousands of dollars in legal to eventually win or lose.

Is there money in building and selling individual properties as GC if you factor in holding cost, etc?

If you went with the 'delayed financing' then you could recoup even more than 75% of the initial purchase price along with some rehab funds if that is something you are looking to do with the property.If you go cash on both the purchase and the rehab, then you could go with a refinance either on the unseasoned cost.
