Goal is to flip houses to build up larger cash deposits each time.

With this info they could also easily identify all illegal rentals and smack them with fines too.HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii is seeking to find vacation rental owners who aren’t paying taxes by getting Airbnb to turn over rental records.Hawaii News Now reports the state Department of Taxation filed a court petition last week to serve an administrative subpoena on Airbnb for rental documents dating back to 2008.The department is investigating vacation rental owners’ compliance with the general excise and transient accommodation taxes.State Director of Taxation Linda Takayama says the department’s goal is to get the taxes paid, which could involve penalties and interest fees if owners haven’t been paying.Airbnb in a statement said it has received the request and is reviewing it.

Everytime is a good time to buy if you get a good deal.I would focus in on your goals, and what returns you expect for a deal.THEN look for those deals and buy one if you find it.Yes its getting a lot more difficult, we personally are finding it a LOT harder to find deals we like. 

Our goal is to get to the point where our passive income will cover what i currently make(somwhere around 12 units) and i can stay at home to raise my boy.

My goals include becoming a successful real estate investor in flipping and rentals also getting my first investment property before the end of the year.

My goal like most others is to achieve financial freedom through real estate and get out of the rat race as Robert Kiyosaki would say.

You learn something new every day :) I think this really depends on your timeline and goals!

It depends on your goals.

I'm talking start to finishAppraisal, underwriters, inspection, title search, etc...From a real bank for conventional loan.Hard/private money is faster which could be more likely for you a flipper...BUT if you're selling to FHA or similar it's going to be closer to 60 days to close on the buyer side...

It depends on many factors: net worth, risk tolerance, future goals.
