High taxes are against my morals...- My investment strategy is to purchase three cash flowing properties and hold onto them (same market/city).

Eventually get a mentor Having a guide will boost your confidence tremendously.

There is a sea of great deals to do and make great money, keep the moral bar high and build a titanium reputation.

The moral of the story is: you can go into an analysis paralysis trying to optimize the end result :)In our market, if your total cost is 80% - 85% of the ARV, I would say it is a stellar deal and you will come out way ahead over the long run.

Hello @Natashia E Morales, and welcome. 

well couple things comes to mind..1. you have the ethics  and moral compass  your can let that guide you2. the natural greed in all of us will cause your moral compass to sway towards you I know it would with most.3. if you low ball too much they may call someone else and you lose the deal all together how did the lead come to you if it was direct mail or bandit sign you can be almost 1000% sure they will or have talked to others.. 4. and this is what I personally do when confronted with this situation..

I would bet at least 100/mo total.Thats basically 300/mo in savings there plus if you can get another 100/mo total boost in rents across the 3 units (33 of the 50 they're under market).

Moral of the story, think thoroughly thru your next property and act upon it wisely just don't pick up another property just because you want a fatter portfolio.

The problem is timing, headaches and overall money : time ratio     Is it worth the headaches, time and constant tearing at your moral compass?
