So essentially you will need money for ten percent of the purchase price, the first portion of the rehab, and holding costs to pay the hard money payments monthly and taxes/insurance.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment in Houston, TX.

We have been buying and holding properties for 22 years, but only recently started thinking of it as a business.

We are doing everything we can to hold off until then but with the increase in taxes, insurance, and debt; it's really getting difficult to be able to wait it out.

I figured that flipping an 80s or 90s mobile home would be not only quicker and easier to do than a regular property but it would also be great learning for any rehab I would have to do in other properties I eventually hold.

A DST is typically a 5 to 7 year hold, at which point you could 1031 exchange into your own investment property.  

How long are you planning to hold this property?

I owed 3 months of child support, recently divorced, back home living with parents, driving an old car with over 100k miles and had been recently fired from a job.

What is the hold period/debt assumptions?
