They value medium to high ticket transactions over the potentially lower ticket ones that investors are interested in.I honestly feel that realtors and investors tend to neglect how beneficial it can be to work with one another.

Without the ROBS structure, an active business is a stretch to qualify as investment under plan rules.Now welcome to 2018/19 and we have QBI that's under some circumstances taking what was previously undeniably passive income and calling it "qualified business income".  

There is no curb to turn the wheels into, and if the parking brake fails (or they neglect to activate it), odds are good the vehicle is rolling downhill.

Imho That’s for extenuating circumstances not a no -obligation time frame where the tenant can just hang out and not pay till he feels like it .

@Dorian Guin I think in the circumstance you have is once you use those HELOC funds, how quickly can you pay them back?

Again, a tax CPA/EA who understands your facts, circumstances, and goals will be able to help out here.

I wouldn't agree, under any circumstances, to purchase until the tenant is out, and an inspection of the vacated property is performed. 

It takes time to adjust to new circumstances.

@Jesse ClarkIt's a good question for your CPA who knows your facts, circumstances, and goals.Generally speaking it's not advisable to hold appreciating assets inside a corporate tax entity, whether a C Corp or S Corp. 

I know there are endless options when it comes to investing in real estate, so what I’m really asking is, generally, what would you do, given the equity available in these circumstances?
