Take a look at HUD as a source of properties...Here in Florida you can usually acquire for around 70% or market value.

I'm probably the only idiot that applied for permits and did all the work to code...Next year, I plan to acquire more NH properties and less Vt properties, though I bought a couple of high profile Vt properties in town, (both made the newspapers, the school was the front page headline story) so I probably won't realize my plan to make NH my primary residence as they hove no state income tax...

But you are really gaining by acquiring this property. 

You could flip a couple during ski season and acquire something up there at the end of the year.

So I would really like acquire some properties of my own.

I am undertaking your marketing strategy and have acquired a list of multifamily's from the title company and was wondering how you uploaded the list to the post office website to create your postcards?

This person has acquired 5 lots, built 2 houses so far, and one of them just got rented.

Proceeds go into my SDRIA, and repeat ;-)...no UBIT triggered because I'm not rehabbing and flipping....just acquiring and selling passively at arms length.

We provide renovation oversight on recently acquired properties through us, (great for grabbing rehab properties at a discount and we assist with bidding process)Unfortunately we do not service short term rental properties.

If you're raising funds to acquire properties for the long term then flipping may help you get there.
