Now you understand that long leases are no hedge of protection for you they only benefit the tenant !

2)Will I then be able to do repairs on the property myself personally or would this beat the benefit on having a land trust for privacy. 

Although it may feel inhumane to ask people to leave, keep in mind that these same people would move out in one second if it benefited them.

Instead I like to pay attention to all the ways owning property can generate returns, including positive monthly cash flow but also including depreciation tax benefits, principle pay down, and appreciation.

I'm glad to hear you have benefited from the knowledge on this platform.

I still have my VA benefit and I’m already preapproved so it’s all about finding the deal.

I'd be buying below appraised value but in line with wholesale offers so as to not personally benefit.

Depending on where you are with REI having someone who specializes in real estate taxation vs. a general firm could prove a huge benefit. 

Given that wraps dont have the benefit of all of these deductions, a typical wrap providing me say 5% interest and $350 a month looks way less appealing when the $350 is taxed at 42% ordinary income level.I like the idea of wraps because once you complete the deal you are 100% free to move on, mostly forget about it and acquire more wraps. 

I'm still covered as the Landlord for the agreed amount.The tenant gets a HUGE benefit.
