I posted on Facebook that I was looking to buy a flip, and a fellow agent sent me some details about a property she was going to list.

you need to dodge capital gains and foreign buyer tax.. you should consult a tax expert..If I was in this situation I would just sell (not advice) and buy a cash flowing mobile home park in the midwest

Sounds like this is a private money lender or a hard money lender.If you are getting funds from another source and relying on that to close, you should not put in the purchase agreement that you are buying with cash.

Based on income alone, I could buy a 30k lot in sky harbor and build a 2 bedroom 1,400 sq ft cabin that generates 50k to 60k in rental income all day long (if not closer to 55k to 65k).   

Knowing what to budget for when buying a home may feel intimidating — but it doesn’t have to be.

I've considered going Dave Ramsey and buying a house with cash and upping my budget to $100k in a smaller market, but that would blow almost all my savings, and $100k just doesn't get you much anymore.

Considering the area  I am not sure how this poster's LTRs are going, but I own 2 in the area and have helped multiple investors buy and then lease their LTRs in the Buda/Kyle area as well - all are cash flowing.
