Commissions are negotiated and can be more or less depending on your office policy.Or, again with your managing broker's permission, tell the seller you know several investors that might be interested and get a listing... maybe a limited listing instead of a contract to buy it yourself... maybe as a transaction broker so you're just helping the buyer and seller consummate the sale (not representing either party as a fiduciary) and charge a commission instead of a wholesale fee.Just spit-balling ideas for you, but check with your managing broker to structure something that does work for all of you.

Also a concern here is the addition being an approved/permitted spaceSection 8 not withstanding if the addition wasn't a permitted addition you'll likely will be taking a significant risk that should a tragic event take place there with a loss of life or serious injury you'll have no place to hide as most insurance companies will not pay your claims plus the civil and criminal penalties are severe!

But there is a limit to how much you can exclude from ordinary income.

The purchase price will be 160k and the homes renovated value is between 210-220k. (4bd 2.5ba on 5 acres inside city limits)My question is, should i do minimum repairs and rent the home out for around 1500mo (pay the morgage) or flip the home.

You need cash to handle emergencies (car accident, job loss, etc).

Besides my secular job I am a also the Pastor of the Truth Church in Edgerton, KS.I have a limited background in real estate investing but I have bought 3 single family homes in my life and one of those I had a renter for a couple years before selling for a profit.
