The IRS has just issued updated guidance on OZ's including the draft self-certification form (Form 8996).From a quick high level glance at the newly issued 74 page draft regulations it does appear that only capital gains will qualify (which confirms the position our team held) Our real estate team will be diving into this over the weekend and next week in more detail.

I have a HELOC that I would love to pay off with a quick flip.

Hi all,I operate mostly in Texas which is very hot and terms seem to be very seller friendly (quick diligence periods, hard earnest money deposits, etc).

What folks are looking for is a compelling reason why an economic anchor will not/can not move quickly to a new market. 

We do still have a big disparity between certain areas (seacoast and the southern part of the state in general) and the more rural areas and much further north, in terms of how quickly stuff sells/market activity, but generally in NH the rental market is very strong, both for SFR and apartments, bolstered by the real shortage of affordable housing for local workers to buy.

@Hey Federico, appreciate the quick response.

My goals consist of starting out with Single family (already have my first deal picked out, and in negotiations) then quickly moving into Multifamily and then growing it from there.I do my research and I'm always expanding my knowledge, I don't do anything with out full commitment and I'm looking for the same from a partner.I've always had a way of finding deals in my life (eBay, Amazon, Facebook, Craigslist, etc. ) and I'm more motivated than ever to find them since being introduced to real estate investing. 

You will pay much less per month for the software and the customer service is excellent. 

Also, if you're reading a good book and it mentions a U.S. law, or custom, maybe just make a mental note that it may be different near you....then ask other investors what their thoughts are....The networking will do more for you than you can imagine!!! 

You can use direct mail or Facebook marketing but that can get expensive quick.
