Partner Driven was interested in the Gibson St deal in Portland, TN, due to its high profit potential with a purchase price of $142,000 and a sale price of $240,000.

@Samantha J Foy I can't speak to the return on the staging expense.

Moved out and now I get a 47% COC return just 4ish years later!

The chances are high you will meet other house flippers that can offer insight. 

I have a finance degree and on took courses in real estate taxation, and still use a preparer to double check what I did, have him sign off on my returns as preparer.

I'm with a construction and design company and we operate in NC - feel free to reach out, would love to work with you and help you create a high-performing STR.Here are a few we did in NC for you to check out:-https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/755582185230853225?

sorry to say it but there is nothing dishonest to engage in a conversation with an Agent that has a house on market since 200 days and offer to buy at a lower offer price - seller they believe owns the Taj Mahal and expecially after pandemic they raise asking price way too high - once again, guys we are entertaining a conversation with a seller and if the house is on market since 200 days, guess what, I believe the agent and the seller maybe a bit motivated, or what? 

Given the current environment of high prices and high interest rates, it is not likely that a taxpayer will pay tax on rental income for properties purchased now.

The I suppose the cash back and sign up bonuses are a return on the very small amount of time it takes to track them.

Yes, I have spoken to a bunch of knowledgeable contractors but the bids have been very high.
