My background is in software development and web application development, so I know I can assist with technology related questions. 

Happy to connect and help answer any real estate related questions!

Hi All, I am relatively new to the site. 

Plus all of the paydown of the loan, and tax benefits. 

I have a close relative here in Charlotte that owns many properties and has a lot of real estate investing experience.

And... as an added benefit clearly identifies whom we rent to if there are multiple qualified applicants.

I need some of your inputs to determine which offer below would give me more profit or benefits from tax perspective. 1) First offer: $400K, which was what the listing price is for my property, with no closing help.2) Second offer: $412K but with $12K seller credit for closing help.

I live relatively close to Vistancia and bought a new build up here myself not too long ago, but I like the isolation from the city this area provides so your reasoning may be different than mine for moving out to these parts. 

Now, the property isn't all that expensive, and if you are prepared to break even, or take a small loss, in order to learn from the experience, seems like this would be a relatively safe way to do it.
