Quote from @Hanna Brown: @Jay Hinrichs If the bidder at the auction pays cash for keys to get the homeowner out, does the person redeeming from the owner position (exercising rights of redemption w/in 180 days) have to reimburse them for those costs they paid to get the homeowner out? 

We network with other fix & flippers teaching them how to properly structure a seller financed note so that it has value on the secondary market, we then buy a partial from them to take out most, if not all, of their cost basis so they can recapitalize and go do another deal. 

You need a reserve to handle unexpected costs, particularly during the first 1-2 years of ownership and learning how to manage the property. 

It's been extremely underwhelming, not that costly but it's pretty bad. 

A revocable living trust is another option for privacy and asset protection.Avoid gifting the property before death, as this would pass the original purchase price as the cost basis, creating a large capital gains tax liability upon sale.If the property is Subject A’s homestead, ensure the correct titling to maintain Florida’s homestead protection for Subject B.This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

Cities with limited land for expansion have higher appreciation than those with abundant, low-cost land where new construction is preferred.

Not sure what your monthly cost is, but every vacant month it costs a lot trying to make that up. 

There is a monthly fee associated for this but if the tenant is serious you can offer it to them at cost.

I would also suggest finding a 100% LTC (loan to cost) lender that will fund all of your rehab and all of your purchase.

Instead they go about it a** backwards and add more red tape and more complications costing the city and it's residents more money
