I am utilizing PODIO CRM for staying on top of my leads and ensuring I process them to closing in the most efficient way possible.

@Steve Hall so its fraud to use “spend down” to make home improvements to a condo in a trust?

well what I would do is tell the seller the house needs 45k.. and since he holds the first you are improving his collateral therefore its safe for him to take a smaller down payment.Maybe offer to escrow the rehab funds so that if you say your going to rehab but don't he can go in and grab his 25k that is not coming to him in the form of down paymentlet him be in control of that 25k in some manner.. that may work.Its just like when I tie up development ground if I have a very cautious seller..

My question is, what would be the most efficient way to operate this for the most tax advantages/breaks as opposed to claiming it on my own personal taxes? 

To finance, use lease option to be given permission to use a property however I want, improve it and rent it out.

The property is in Stoughton WI, no improvements were made and leases are below market due to previous landlord.

Help please Asking price: 825K13 units multi family apartments12 units : 2bed/1bath rent for 750$ a month1 unit : efficiency room rent for 400$ a monthWasher/dryer room earns about 400$ a month Apartments in Good shape.Has window units, no central air.

It’s in their best interest to get the job done quickly and efficiently that’s how they make money.

My question is if I sell a current investment say for $200k that I purchased for $100k and made $50k in improvements (so $50k gain). 

It's in a c class neighborhood thats improving with rents in th 700 for a bd, and 800 for a 3 bd.
