I run the Philadelphia Landlords Connect group and the range of challenges that investors face is significant.

You're right; it's working with investors.Whether an agent becomes Featured with us or not is fine with me as I'm not here to tell anyone how to run their business.

I think it's important to focus on if the investment would be good for you in the long run and then see the tax advantages as a nice benefit (obviously this changes with growth/larger investors).

@Mark Vella Irregardless of HUD, you should run a comparative market analysis on your property and list it accordingly.

But if you kept a couple of properties a year, then in the long run you would be very wealthy.

You have a major advantage because like you said, you are able to utilize your VA eligibility to get your foot in the door.

Hi Nick,  I am a big believer in crawl, walk, run, sprint, fly --- get good at crawling first.   

Which I recommend so there is more appreciation and value add opportunity in the long run. 

If you are negotiating a seller financed deal, I'm happy to run a few models for you to evaluate different proposals.

Use my last scenario a Duplex in Indiana just outside Carmel in an upcoming area investor went into contract and closed on a $175K Duplex (2) unit which had "New" renters at $1200 a door a month
