For farm rural property loans, will be harder to come by if you want to get money out of your property, a good rule is to plan on keeping a land property for at least 10 years.If you goal is more cash flow related, you might want to look at buying single family, duplex, triplex or quadplex properties, these are the easiest properties to finance, and there are hundreds if not thousands of lenders in this space. 

So far, i only own single-family houses and a duplex ( on investment loan).  

It's easy to document that Crane has owned the property with the intent of holding for productive investment use. 

If single or married no kids.  

For those licensed agents out there....when you buy a property for yourself, either personal residence or investment property, you typically receive the buyers agent commission.Is this considered taxable income?

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

In my experience these are the levels of how financial fraud is doneLevel 1 - The “sponsor” is a fraudster from the beginning and the entire investment is a designed fraud designed to steal the investor's money Level 2 - The sponsor initially intends to operate legally and honestly but the temptation of easy access to money, usually fueled by addictions to drugs, sex, partying, etc. leads to the bad decision to line the sponsors own pocketsLevel 3 - The sponsor intends to operate legally but a crisis in their life resulting in a need for money leads the sponsor to “borrow” from investor’s funds with the full intention of paying it back ( which they are unable to do).Level 4 - The sponsor intends to operate legally but the assets under their management incur substantial loses; the sponsor attempts to cover up these loses by “temporarily” borrowing from one investor to pay another or submitting false results.

Not only will it have a negative effect on landlords, I would imagine some owners of single family homes will choose to sell to an owner-buyer, thus reducing the number of rental properties on the market, making it more difficult for renters to find places to rent.

Hi all, I'm buying a new construction via a 1031 exchange as a long term investment property. 

For your next purchase, would you factor your financials based on your initial 25k investment, or the full 50k you now have in pocket?
