Due to the tax consequences James mentioned (and so long as you're only doing so infrequently), it typically makes the most sense to hold for at least a year to at least hit the capital gains tax qualification.

They generally say they are foreclosed, or they are easy to spot, with typical language. 

Say the landlord sells the house to his tenant, and tenant pays the next 12 months of mortgage on time as he had done with rent, what is the typical discount on a solid performing note? 

Need help with adjusted cost basis of this home when converted to rental in 2017 for filing 2017 taxes.With original purchase and subsequent refinances(4 total) there are typical closing costs, such as points, title, recording and other lender fees.I've being doing taxes myself for my personal and other rental properties I own.Here are my questions:1) in addition to title, recording, what other escrow, title or loan related expenses from the original purchase in 2004 can be added to the cost basis adjustment?

And the tenant should be listing the landlord as Additional Interest/Insured, and typically, you are then notified if the policy is dropped.

One question I have is does a seller financed sale typically require any kind of a down payment? 

Hi All,I am doing some study in JAX and plan to do buy and hold strategy as a out of state investor.Trying to find local PM and real estate agent who works with out of state investors, would appreciate if anyone can refer. 

The quickest example I can refer you to would be Michael Blank syndicated deal analyzer (SDA).

I know a few builders and depending on what you’ve got in mind, I’d be glad to refer a few.
