It is, because in the end people let you down and over promise and under deliver and to tell you the truth cause I've dealt with so many now, some agents are very good and they listen as to what your buy box is and they provide comps and an ARV analysis and other agents aren't willing to do sh!

I would go with the LVP but be sure to buy extra as these seem to have a very short manufacturing run and in 5 years you may not be able to find a match for repairs. 

Eventually you'll want one if you keep buying more rentals.

My partner and I used hard money to buy property and have about 180k in house so far.

Did you have an inspection done during the buying process?

When I got involved in notes I started with doing more deals - i was buying lower priced assets and choosing quantity over quality which was "risky" but I did very well and learned a ton.

So then basically you are buying the land for 400k, then demo (whatever that cost is) and the build new. 

Pay for your buy through normal loans, big bank loans, small loan options, or a mix of loan types.

As far as taxes go, selling it to you or on the MLS is still selling the property.If the owner includes it in their Trust, it can typically be inherited tax free if it is not sold.To buy the property, I would probably go for a lease option which is not counted as a sale, so no taxes are due.

I've been interested in buying property in Cle Elum and would probably do some sort of vacation rental.
