I do like the fact that you only take $100 though as it wouldn't be hard to itemize that since on a $600 rental that is only 5 days worth of rent lost which should be relatively easy to prove in most instances.Out of curiosity why not just have them sign a lease right away?

In equity deals however, you may receive quarterly returns, but the accrued returns can disappear, along with your principal if this type of fraud occurs. 

Just out of curiosity, you were able to get a deal within your first 3 months of your campaign?

Out of curiosity, what was the bad negotiation advice that you got?

So the buyer will receive a credit for taxes that were accrued before purchase but not yet due.

More out of curiosity than anything...

You cannot mix personal and IRA funds, and all income accrues to the IRA.  

Do not pay cash as you have no 3rd party proof of payment.If you structure your note where no payment is due for 90 days, you will owe MORE on the refinancing than the original loan balance as interest accrued during with no payment.

Sometimes I notice that the previous sale date might even be a couple years ago or maybe even last year, but the property is just sitting there accruing expenses..?

I figure that it might be "easier" to get into these properties as they are not generating any income and are only accruing expenses for someone.
