Should they receive a piece of the rents in addition to their percentage of the selling price if I am providing all updates and maintenance over time? 

For this first investment I plan on living in and updating a single family home and then moving out and turning it into my first rental property, and then repeating. 

The issue that I have in Austin is that every house is above $320,000 and duplexes about $450,000 and they are not even close to being updated.

Purchased new washer and dryer updated carpeting.

New Roof, open up the sun porch to make it a deck. update kitchen with . new cabinets, appliances.

I’m trying to do is “subject to” deal but only for a couple months and then I plan on taking over but only after I do some updating...meanwhile there is a tenant already in place (just a FYI) do I get to write off those fixes etc?

Thanks for pointing this out, I'll be updating my leases to be more strict.

You may wish to confirm that the new 401k provider will handle the ongoing compliance support such as any required 5500 filing (e.g. 5500-ez for a one-participant plan with assets in excess of $250,000), any required tax reporting (e.g. 1099-r in the event of a distribution or in-plan Roth conversion), mandatory plan updates and amendments, etc.4.

Purchase price: $210,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $250,000 12 unit rehabed and updated What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The unoccupied unit has a hole in the bedroom ceiling and needs countertop updates in the kitchen.
