I have worked with investors who own large portfolios of resi rentals and the best solution for them has been to lease the systems or use a power purchase agreement (PPA), so that a 3rd party can claim the ITC and pass those savings on to the owner, since they can't take the tax credit on rental property themselves.

I bought my 1st at 16 (my grandfather put 95% in, i put in all my "paper route money" and everything else saved, about $3000 in 1983.

I knew it was going to be a calculated risk, but due to the cost savings I was willing to roll the dice. 

I thought discussions on Real Estate Commission Rebate Saving were comical, but for a Mortgage Broker to pull back the curtain and show all in regards to Lender To Borrower Credit to pay closing costs, and it even gets such pushback, truly exposes the level of education of some posting on BP!  

I lost my job, don't have a lot of savings, and don't have experience as a landlord.

I have been watching, listening, reading, and studying about real estate for a long time always worried I didn’t have enough savings or knowledge to begin.

Secondly, is there a worksheet to be able to plug in numbers to compare 'holding vs. selling' and potential savings or not? 

Peter Bui doesn’t sound like a deal to me, I think you should save your 80k and buy a off market property wholesale....from me🤣👍🏽 send me a Pm and I’ll put you on my list I get lots of off market wholesale deals coming my way.

I'm debt free, and save/invest quite a bit of my income, so I can accept a property without cashflow (or even some negative cashflow) if it makes sense over the long term.

Hey Everyone,I moved to Orlando about a year ago and have been able to put save a good portion of my salary.
