I was under the Impression that If I found a cash buyer prior to the auction date for the amt of the foreclosure that I could still save this mans home.

I probably saved a little bit of money on the multiple loans, but I think 5 years is enough time to figure out if you want to go for a longer term loan.

Doing this would save me from paying capital gains tax, or save me in refi costs doing BURRR.

Make any recommendations I could to save cooling costs, even temporary stuff like a blanket to cover the windows.

Hi Javier, I think the ultimate best way to save your money is to add a knowledgeable and proactive accountant into your team.The wholesalers are taxed very aggressively in comparison to landlords, but a couple of things that just popped in my head:- consider living/investing in a state with no state income tax- consider investing through tax-deferred plans like IRA- consider creating a corporation and make sure you maximize your tax deductions

still a savings over HML costs and interest. 

While on a road trip last week, I finished Brandon Turner’s The Book on Rental Property Investing, which was amazing, Ken McElroy’s ABCs of Real Estate Investing, and started Brandon Turner’s The Book on Investing in Real Estate With No (and low) Money Down.I’m extremely interested in the concept of house hacking and the plan for using that savings to help buy future SFRs that Brandon explains in his book and that’s what I’m going to spend a good portion of my time on researching going forward.

Once a house my brother and I co-own (inherited property in rough condition aka not getting rich off it) sells in Vermont, I will be debt-free and have some savings for a down payment.

I would (and did) save up $1 or $2k.

I self-manage and because of the aggressive 15 year mortgage I take home just $450/mo which just goes into a savings account, so I don't split out repairs and vacancy.
