Haven't been on here in quite some time so I just created a new account.

We will only be starting with about 20k-30k and we had originally planned to start flipping houses to build capital quickly, then build our rental portfolio to create stable passive income, and then build other tiers. 

Turn key companies have economies of scale that individuals don't.

Also, as a courtesy, I created an account for you at XXXXX.com which allows you full access to the entire MLS. 

This model is well suited to singular and static investments such as crowdfunds and other private placements.IRA & 401(k) facilitators create plans that put you more directly in control of the funds and transactions. 

They have all sorts of reasons why they keep or sell assets like this which may or may not make sense to the individual investor looking at one particular asset.

If your income is under $100k - then you can create a tax loss of up to $25,000.

FMV 126k, rented out for $1,400.We need to either sell a few properties, which we really don't want to do or try and refinance with a cash-out refi on the 6th property or put individual loans on each property.  

That's not my market, but it seems like excellent news to me - regulations like that encourage responsible ownership/management without severely handicapping the industry, and in my opinion creates a safer environment in which to operate a business without fearing that super-strict regulations could swoop in at any moment.  

I have thought of spray foam which creates its own vapor barrier but it is way too big of a job for the standard DIY kits.
