@Joseph Bryant As I have suggested with cluents and others, first remove the benefits of the tax policy.

The main reason being, they prefer to be where the action is, in urban areas close to the hottest juice bar or aqua-yoga studio.

I had a note investor today tell me he rather have 100 notes vs 100 units.His reason was no toilets, termites, tenants.What about the benefits of depreciation, equity, etc in owning the real estate?

All of these have their main meetings monthly.

So I’m looking to buy my first deal, at the moment I don’t have the capital to pay cash for a $60k property, I have been looking at getting an FHA loan, doing the rehab, putting a renter In place, and hopefully be able to refinance with a traditional 30 yr mortgage, I have the cash set aside for a $15k-$20k rehab, so my main thing is does this make sense to do?

Private loans aka asset based loans are mainly about the property not about you.

Totally updated on the main floor with dark bamboo flooring and white trim. 4 bedrooms upstairs, with new paint throughout.

Tenants receiving letter from "XYZ Properties LLC" rather than 123 Main Street LLC.

If the only benefit I was getting from that first contractor was his doing the contracting, why take that risk when I don't have to?
