My reasoni g for wanting a land contract is for a lower down payment, cutting out realtor, and hopefully saving some intrest. 

@Brian BistolfoHow did it work out?

So I'm happy I continue to collect rent for the 3-4 months that it will take me to evict.Obviously, I'd be much happier if the tenant wasn't trashing the house and I didn't have to kick her and her 5 kids out. 

Once it's complete you take title and complete your exchange.Can I put about 30% down on the new investment property using the 1031 exchange then take out a heloc loan of 80% LTV and use that money to make repairs?

I would really like personal testimonies before I go out and purchase one.

With everything easily laid out for them, we can all see exactly how much a rehab will cost, and it also motivates the contractors to get things done!

I have heard that Renovo Capital out of Wayzata has done this for flippers in the area. 

It turn out well?

Indy is an incredible place for real estate investing right now, especially with the kinds of properties I work with—new construction duplexes that are perfect for both cash flow and long-term appreciation.Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in exploring opportunities in Indianapolis.

For fireplaces, I took one out in one home as the seller didn't think it was WETT certified; the other we knew was so we left it with explicit instructions.
