The seller is open to owner financing due to not having to pay all of the capital gains tax at once, but rather pay it over the life of the loan to me.I would essentially be leading him to believe that he would be able to pay the taxes over a period of 10 years, and then turn around and force him to pay the taxes in full 6-12 months later when I refinance.

As for my story, I'm a retired Air Force intel analyst, former youth pastor, and current program manager in Bedford, MA.

However, in practically every jurisdiction, you are not forced to belong to the S8 program.

I am an Air Force vet, so a VA loan on one would be a nice way to start.

Hi @James Judd, I'm in the Air Force and also read countless hours about real estate investing on Biggerpockets on my last deployment.

If you wanted to forcefully remove them / their belongings you'd need to file an eviction like with any other tenant.

that someone had a rental and moved away and it essentially forced the requirement to have really killer systems because they wouldn’t be onsite anymore to take care of things that happen.

Plus most lenders would require forced removal coverage.Regarding the front step and fence, while it's possible it's also unlikely that those issues would ever need to be addressed.

I have been investing for over 10 years and have always heard, if you can go into a property and find a way to submeter it you can force appreciation through a higher NOI.
