Much like fix and flip loans spiked up to 11-14% for a while, and are now back in the high 9's to 11's, I think it's encouraging to see the terms floating back to closer to where they were before. 

*RESIDNTIAL POWER LINES*Hello All,I am in real estate market currently to buy an investment property.

Regarding limitation of taxes upon selling, you'll need to make your expenses high (at least on paper), but if your plan is to purely sell it and cash out, then you're going to end up paying capital gains taxes.

If I didn't want any more rentals (or had no more borrowing power as I was maxed out), I'd still probably save that money as I can earn more off interest in a savings account than I'd save in interest as my mortgages currently have low interest rates. 

As an agent if I get a referral I love clients who are A) Ready & able to buy B) They communicate 3) Not difficult/high maintenance.

As a PML, I generally like to have all my money plus a high interest within 6 months.

I highly suggest looking into duplexes in areas like Sunnyside, Acres Homes, Independence Heights, and East River.

The most powerful tool is the MLS and agents.Good Investing...

High volume discounts are available to everyone, irrelevant of deal type, with me.  

It's certainly an easy thing to do, super low barrier of entry but also VERY HIGH RISKS if you don't use the right contracts, and I can imagine some folks sending $ before getting their contracts signed and forget OR trust someone else and boom....LOSE all of their $, and rightfully so to the seller.I know new folks or those who lend on EMD would disagree, but I personally wouldn't want to deal with the headaches on these very small amounts of $ and the wholesalers that need it.
