After reviewing the cost to rehab and the area of town, I decided to Wholesale for a quick profit.Sold it on a Real Estate Contract (Owner Financing) with $100k down, the balance is financed at 10% for 13 months, then the loan is called.

I paid both sides of closing costs. 100% seller finance, 5% interest, amortized over 23 years, with a balloon payment of the principle balance due after 30 months.

The first monthly interest installment of xxxxx due on or before April 15, 2024 and continuing in like consecutive monthly interest installments of this amount for a total of one (1) year or twelve (12) payments at which time the entire unpaid balance, including Principal, accrued but unpaid interest, will become due and payable.

Total rent between the three is $3200/month.I have an adjustable 20 year mortgage with a balance of $100,000~ at 4.95% that is set to adjust in 2026.I also have a HELOC on that property at $180K~ with a 9.75% rate.

High rent growth areas are likely to achieve positive cash flow quicker than low rent growth areas.  5 years for cash flow seems reasonable in many markets.  

After refinancing we were able to achieve $628 per month.

But, if a cost-seg study is done on the old property, you can manage Sec. 1245 recapture tax by doing a study on the new property to confirm it has as much or more Sec. 1245 property.You cannot swap a fully depreciated gas station for a raw piece of land and avoid recapture - you must replace all the 1245 and 1250 property.3) OZ - Sure you can defer your capital gains for a few years into an OZ fund, but the magic of OZ investments is the ability to achieve tax-exempt growth after a 10-year holding period.

I'm pretty confused as I thought FOR SURE this was a duplex given your estimate of $2,850 monthly cash flow.A duplex wouldn't even achieve that in this area.

We are not seeing nearly as generous for a 12 month leaseback, I have one right now, I either get term of LTV, but not both for a short term SLB.Re-tenanting is your biggest risk, what does your balance sheet look like if you have to hold it vacant for 12 months?
