I need to collect funds from customer up front for the build to begin or at least half up front. 

I honestly don't really understand why not, but whatever.So I have been just collecting rent from one property and had about 7k save up from last ~ 10-12 months.

My wife and I collectively gross over $150k/year, and we were recently informed by our CPA that due to our income we could not take advantage of any real estate tax write-off's as a result of Suspended Loss.

No outstanding collections.

That way the flipper collects 25k on his 80k investment.

I have to go to courthouse in order to get the inheritor info to mail out to them, unless I find a source that collects that data.

@Luis Crespo I know some cities/counties  are really missing the bed tax ( you are still supposed to collect and pay bed tax even with Airbnb ) and they are feeling the heat from the hotels fighting the Airbnb / home away trends.

Bank (which does their own vetting) to comply with anti-money laundering laws, CFPB requirements, Fair Debt Collections, and Gramm-Leach-Bliley regulations.

It is often difficult to collect monetary judgments against tenants.

As far as net income, I'd like to double my monthly outlays (8000 a month collection; I bought with 0 down at 4.15% for 20 yrs).
