In my experience there are some GREAT benefits to Premium and one of the chief of those would be buyer-attraction, but I would not count on coming across leads for listings or off-market deals as a result of your premium membership. 

One benefit you may get out out of a side by side duplex is the splitting of utilities.

The advantage of this plan is that it doesn't touch insides of the existing structure at all (and hence comes with cost benefits).

Seller finance: Understand seller financing and pitch benefits to the seller, You can also do a lease to purchase.

Because of the huge benefits of the up front tax savings, it seems to me like it makes even a very large purchase work by the numbers. 

Do some research or talk to an attorney as to whether your state allows "Assignment of Benefits."

Originally posted by @Scott Mac:It's not my business model, but having anyone live outdoors like an animal in the USA when they hand out Section-8 to illegals upon arrival is a hard pill to swallow.They need to sort the homeless into short term vs. forever types.Steer the help to the short-term helpable when they need it, and publicly house the "more eccentric" types out in the county away from civilization.Maybe have a poor farm where they can plant gardens to feed themselves if they are able...something to keep them busy.It would give all of them someplace to live indoors at least.This street begging/tents on sidewalks thing is Un-American.Just my 2 cents Of course you're from Austin....People--particularly addicts--engage in destructive behaviors as long as the cost of that behavior is lower than the benefit to them.

The ease of operation from tokenization will make the benefits of real estate more accessible to the average citizen and spread it across more asset classes. 2) Less intermediaries required in real estate transactionBlockchain will eliminate the need for intermediaries in real estate transactions.

I posed these questions for your benefit more than mine, since all future opportunities will need the answers.As far as this property goes, once you input the taxes/insurance numbers along with the rent, I don't think there's anyway any type of financing, seller included, will make this deal work.

Hey @Jake Arden, one of the main benefits of an LLC is that it protects you legally.
