The demand is there and there is plenty of opportunity all across NWA and especially Bentonville.The growth there will continue with the development of the new home office and the revamping of the in-person work force, I think it could be a great idea.Happy to connect if you are looking for help!

Cleaning Up the Legal Use in Baltimore CountyBook a Pre-Development Meeting (PDM).

I am thinking about relocating to clermont and thinking of hiring a flipper to identify discounted properties for me to purchase and for them to get paid a handsome profit.

I’ve recently developed a strong interest in real estate and am eager to learn more about the industry, connect with experienced professionals, and explore potential opportunities.

Start with identifying the "Primary Subject" property.  

I identified the replacement property within the 45 days, had an inspection and appraisal but just before closing I found out one unit had squatters and I didn't want to take that on so the deal fell apart and the qualified intermediary released the 1031 funds to me the day after tax day, April 17, 2025. 

We're unable to identify many, if any, factors that would change our course.   

This is why your CPA flagged the "management fees" as a red flag—those could imply someone else is materially participating.To still qualify while outsourcing some work:Be highly involved in decision-making, pricing, guest communications, and setup—track your hours.Avoid hiring someone who logs more total hours than you on that property.You can use support tools like Hospitable, as long as they don’t replace your involvement in core operational hours.Tax Tip:If you do meet the participation requirement, you can:Use cost segregation to identify assets with shorter lives (5, 7, or 15 years).Claim bonus depreciation (40% in 2025 unless reinstated to 100%) in year one.Offset your active W-2 income, if the STR loophole applies.Let us know if you want a downloadable STR Loophole and Bonus Depreciation Checklist to help you track hours and structure this properly!

If you want appreciation, identify markets with expanding industries and positive growth signals.Have you looked into Ohio markets such as Columbus or Cleveland?

I’d love to hear from both experienced developers and investors dipping their toes in.
