Four single family homes that were rehabbed and rented with the intentions of maybe selling once the Redline Project got into full swing.

The requirement is you must be selling real estate that you purchased with the intent to hold for productive use in business, trade, or for investment and are going to purchase real estate that it is also your intent to hold for productive use....Intent rather than holding period is the true standard.  

My intention is to help educate other investors and also to attract private lenders or JV partners.

My intentions since day one were to turn it into a rental which meant not looking for the “perfect house for my family”.

How would you recommend one goes about building in an area that they don't live in, with the intention of selling?

If you intend on purchasing the duplex conventionally, inform them first of your intentions to deed the property in to the LLC (Due on Sale Clause).

Hi BP Community,I am purchasing a Duplex in San Diego with the intentions of fixing it up and renting out one side while I live in the other.

The advantage of younger tenants is that their reasons for renting are more legitimate, however, they are more likely to abuse or neglect the property, often due more to ignorance than malicious intent.

We came to a few terms on our end and wanted to start a negotiating process but the broker said he refused to present our letter of intent.

The activities must also be for a fee or something of value, or with the intention of collecting a fee or something of value.
