Marie, Please keep in mind that when you see people referencing with these funds it's because they are invested in these funds, bought the sales pitch hook, line and sinker and are being told by the operator, "don't worry about the market, we're experienced and conservative so you'll get all your money back and a tidy profit.

The people who never ran properties in B or C area always scream about how bad idea it is but you can make an incredibly profitable listing in those if you know how to manage it.

I haven’t made any profit yet and I’m wondering if I should still file taxes for my “business “. 

., set salary, percentage of profits, or other methods)?

. ~$13200  (forecast equity increase) -$4200 (cash flow) = $9k First year profit ideally that will increase annually.  

DA 20-25k profit at that price point is good for your first flip with any mistakes and overages.

That being said WE CHOSE TO DO THIS. so to the 2 so called "investors" who are here trying to slander us claiming we are "scamming them" or trying to convince them to buy a property under these conditions.....thats false as none of this is necessary to wholesale a deal and make profit......Over half of these investors arent even familiar with what wholesaling even is and so when they get upset about something that has to do with their property....because we offer to help them out....they immediately point the finger at us as if whatever happens to their property is somehow our fault. 

Since 2020 we've seen large asset value increases and large tax increases, and more modest insurance increases but we've been able to improve our profit margins sufficiently to keep up with inflation and even do a little better in many cases.

The combination that this niche offers first-class care to those that need it most and the potential for it to become profitable for many years to come definitely has me interested in learning more about opportunities investing in RAL.We are renting in our current assignment, but we will PCS in about a year and a half.
