Recently we've found seller(s) to be increasingly receptive to concessions of up to $20k towards buyer(s) closings costs.

Also, stop trying to charge tenants for the costs to maintain your own property.

Hello,Does anyone know if you can take a tax deduction for closing costs on the purchase of a rental property? 

There is no cost to you to do this.

The appraisal took 2-3 weeks to perform and the cost was just under $5k.

I was wondering anyone had any suggestions on ways to monetize those 2 acres without a huge up front cost?

Is there money in building and selling individual properties as GC if you factor in holding cost, etc?

Specifically, I'm thinking about getting properties which ideally satisfy the 2% rule or at least are significantly above the 1% rule (ratio of monthly rent to purchase price + renovation cost).Given these goals and the fact that my constraints, I have the following questions:a) Which markets are best to look at ?

Via full cost effective rehab What was the outcome?

DSCR rates (investor cashflow loans) would give you a fixed rate payment and allow you to pull that cash out from the rental at a lower cost.
