It's what I use for my own businesses as well as multiple real estate and construction clients.

Generally the cost of hard money will trump that little extra bit your CPA charges you... by a lot.Done this way, I've had REI with multiple properties have a negative number on line 21, but still calculated as cash flow positive because that level of detail on the tax returns (and adding back depreciation) allowed me to do so.

You could potentially use the HELOC to fund multiple down payments and use the cash flow from the new rentals to pay back off the HELOC, thus clearing up funds for more properties in the future.

For example, 3 years ago, nobody was interested in Chicago, Orlando, Memphis, Cleveland, Austin, Philadelphia and other 2nd tier cities and now we have been closing multiple deals in those cities.

I wouldn't normally be able to demand such things, but since I had multiple offers and my RE market is so hot, I was able to get away with it. 

Hi Grant,1) Regarding the ARV, look at properties comparable to yours (GLA, age, br/ba, lot, location) after they have been remodeled or" flipped"2) Running numbers on multiple potential deals, you will learn quickly what is a good deal and what's not.3) I would think so, so shop around.4)  I would call title companies in your marketplace.I hope that helps!

I have read multiple books, listened to many podcasts (thanks BP!).

Will or no will, high value or low value, multiple heirs or a single child, mortgages or no debts, all these things will be factors in determining the complexity of the case.Since you'll need to know the next of kin (either directly or obtained from death certificate) you'll also need to think through what you'd say to someone who just lost a close relative. 

I've been talking with a seller who wants to get rid of multiple units and I need advice on if to wholesale or not?

Hi, I have multiple tenants on a 12-month lease that is up for renewal.
