I went shopping yesterday and felt like I was preparing for war.  

Right now you prepare yourself no rent and eventually an eviction possibility.From your last post, it looks to me that they are initiating communication with the tenant right now.

If you go through with it, be prepared to be told no a lot.

DPA has been very tough to use the past few years....just way too much competition that isn't using it in the sub $300K range.With that said the market has shifted some the past 2-3-4 months and maybe a seller would accept it if they don't have other offers.I would just be prepared to make several offers and not get your heart set on one particular house. 

They scraped the site in preparation for the form boards.Its a little hard to see, but the tree guys missed one stump. 

Definitely speak with your tax preparer. 

@Trevor Marvin You can actually leave your options open by properly preparing the purchase and sale agreement...Where you identify the Buyer: [Individual name] and/or an LLC to be formed for the purpose of this acquisition

If you're at a family function or you're asleep or out on a fishing trip on the water or doing anything else that takes you away from your phone, these 3rd party options will allow you to have prepared messages to handle a multitude of inquiries or timed instructions to different steps in the renting process.

I'm currently analyzing properties and preparing to find my first syndication deal.
