Hey Andrew - some call this land hacking, depending on what exactly you're trying to do.

Depends on the property and level of damage?

@Caleb Rehg depends on the neighborhood!

Not as many complexities with a few rentals, but there can still be significant issues depending on entity structure - even if they are all "disregarded" entities for federal tax purposes.If your W-2 is your full time gig, and they are all passive long term rentals, there very well could be likely not a lot of active planning to do on the real estate side, outside of getting some general knowledge out there, having some longer term plans, and ensure deductions are being maximized in the isolation of those 5 rentals.

Lennar is either 1 or 2 in size in the US DR Horton is the other.. they are production builder so yes quality is not their hallmark.. price is .. 2. wrapping the mortgage could certainly create an event of default with Lennars lending arm. there by trashing your credit. 3. if your buyer stops paying you have to keep paying and foreclose and hope they have not trashed the home when you get it back.. like all things creative finance wise sounds great on paper and is great if it all goes perfect but lots of things can fall apart if things do not go right.. so what is your fico score worth ?  

Hey @Spencer ElliottI guess it would also depend on the 'builder's experience as well.

Obviously dependent on how much you made in the most recent year, but you never know!

Typical rates are 8-12% of income either monthly or yearly depending on manager.

Depending on you budget you may want to consider outside of downtown.
