Junk mail - I get multiple credit card offers every day in the mail now.

There is a lot of costs that need to be considered despite how much you think is finished.One thing that I tend to find with unfinished builds is that the permit inspections failed... often multiple times.

Have you spoken with multiple broker's for opinion of value?

I would be curious to know from people who own multiple properties, have a solid day job w the W2 how to get the next deal under wraps, when you just got one.

@Luz Pagan this is pretty typical in a hot market if you are a new player on the scene. 

Take x dollars out of property a, invest in property b - here is profit, cash flow, risk, reward, plan to grow to multiple properties increase cash flow etc.

Market is really hot and so I don't have anything to put it into right now and good properties go quickly with multiple offers in our area. 2.  

I feel that im getting to know the larger players in the market by doing that. 

We are looking for multiple homes in those zip codes.

No, you cannot, there're very specific rules against it, despite the YouTube webinars encouraging you to deduct them (the symphony players lost a court case against the IRS trying to deduct their performance tuxedos)and so on.I know it's tempting to think you're sticking it to the IRS, but in the end they will stick it to you.
