Hey @Christina Galdieri, I am a bit confused on your question but in general: If your asset is sold after 12 months from buying it, those gains are considered long term capital gains and taxed at a reduced rate. 

Of course the seller knows the risks and obviously should consult someone else prior to accepting an offer. 

They have full real estate cycle experience, conservative leverage at around 40%, diversified thousands of properties across geography, and tax that they feel are recession resistant.

Looking for a CPA who can help navigate through the tax season!

Here;s the key : Postion your investments in real property so that the investments can take advantage of ALL of the following: 1- cash flow 2- equity build up through loan amortization3- price appreciation4- tax benefitsThe LEAST important of the 4 above are tax benefits as investing through a retirement fund, ESPECIALLY ROTH, will provide tax shelter itself.  

I see lots of posts about trying to do this as a way of circumventing taxes, but nothing about doing it as a way to increase W-2 income.

I have lots of questions: Do I save %20 of the rental income for tax purposes?

For instance, let's say you do the rehab and go to rent it...considering the relatively low value of the property, it's reasonable to expect that the tenants will have low or no credit, they may be unemployed or on income assistance, they may have minimal employment options, and/or they may have a very spotty history with prior rentals.

Non-tax advantaged investing (stocks, lending, etc) in a retirement account. 

Just send your RTR rep a message and we'll get you on the right track.This is an excellent loan option that will allow investors to scale quickly and maximize tax benefits!!
