I I can't believe the responses I'm getting on this.Let's let's get something straight, this is my borrower and my referral to my rebate realtor partner.If if I have a loan program that  the borrower has not been able to find through shopping five other lenders and in addition, I can effortlessly save the borrower almost $50,000 in otherwise forfeited tax-free home  equity, worrying about my compensation from the lender is irrelevant.Again since this is my borrower referral of all things!!

In addition, I have established several partners who are ready to join me in deals around the country. 

Additionally there are purchase-to-repair ratios that I'll be getting near. 

Even so, assuming an additional $5k in expenses, you would still be creating $10k AND have a cash flowing money making machine. 

What’s the best way to leverage the equity after rehab towards additional deals without getting income tax or capital gains hits? 

If I decided to keep renting instead of selling,  how hard is hard money to find for additional investments ?

Well that is $1.75mm in equity just sitting there assuming it's all paid off with no additional liens.

In my experience as a contractor the trend is restoration of old homes with the addition of modern amenities is what more affluent people are wanting.

To prevent those items I suggest lots of tenant screening questions (back-round check, credit check, eviction search and income verification) and an annual maintenance plan on your properties. 

I have a couple unique and very cool situations, additional, so I want to make sure everything is aligned right regarding taxes with business structure.
