When I started RE investing, I bought some properties that was 40 years old, for long term buy and hold, and when I had it for 20 years, had plumbing problems.

Hi @Miguel Torres, I'm an agent and long time investor with experience in flipping, buy and holds, etc.

We plan to achieve this goal by generating cash-flow through the buy and hold strategy, likely starting with a 4-plex in Anchorage using a FHA loan as an owner-occupant to begin house-hacking.

You might also consider your holding costs and legal expenses, then decide it is easier to offer an incentive to move out by X date in exchange for a handful of $100 bills upon handing over the keys to a broom clean property. 

How many traditional mortgages can one person hold before you start getting turned down?  

I'm interested in purchasing sfh in Las Vegas to hold and rent forever.

If you want to hold, consider a bond for a deed, or a deed in lieu type arraignment, depending on what your attorney advises.Good Luck!

Rent could be increased to 1000 but even there it doesn't seem like a good buy and hold to me.

, do not forget you will be prolonging the sale for the 2-3 months it takes to build it and you will have mortgage payments and taxes to figure in holding costs for those months, which take away from that profit. best to get all your numbers and find out if the expenses are worth the return.

If the tenant holds to the lease, you could have a serious situation on your hands.
