If it is a normal 70/30 leveraged property, you may end up subject to tax on 70% of your returns anyways - so cost benefit, is that 30% tax free portion worth the high tax rates paid and additional filing fees to get tax free treatment on the 30%?

This is my second year attending and I highly recommend it for all MTR operators.

Should I be a private lender since rates are so high?

aren't apartment rents down 8% yr over yr in Austin?

But based on a couple office buildings in the same zip code I pretty familiar with that rent seems high for that class of office.

Keep that money flipping, keep tax deductions high, and keep buying primo real estate and zero focus on the gutter **** in Ohio or what not. 

Given that you're just starting to learn, I would highly recommend talking to lenders and real estate agents in your area.

I have heard so many stories just like this from people who have purchased from turnkey companies.The refi is one way, but you'd have to have a big rate cut to free up $450 (unless this is a high-priced property).

Market is still affordable to get into and cashflow is actually still possible even with high loan to value properties.

Like the car salesman/hustler who converts “ups” at a super high rate; or the guys hustling oil well participations over the phone.
