The reason you flip first is it's a faster way to building cash on a continuous basis that you will use to buy holds.  

I am an active buy and hold investor in Geogia    I have 8 SFH long term rentals in the north east suburbs of Atlanta   I am currently looking to diversify into either another area of the country (probably Tampa, Fl) or perhaps to pick up a few beach (PCB) and lake (Chattuge, Hartwell) short term rentals to attach to a different market   I would like to connect with others in any of those areas to build a better network    I look forward to the discussions.  

@Stephen Craig I noticed on your profile that you hold a real estate license in Hawaii!

I am holding a tax deed on a property in Alabama that ATT is interested in for a cell tower.  

How long could you hold a tax lien certificate for before the tax lien holder receives the property?

Looking for recommendation for CPA w REI experience (I do fairly simple REI stuff: buy/holds and flips). thx Dave

What does work great here is buy and hold.

So Cal not only would have been the superior investment for financed buy n hold but it would not even be close compared to the average locale.

Interested in buy and hold rentals and flipping.

The Estoppel will allow the exiting tenants to declare their personal property, current rent and the deposit on hold with the sell.
