It has really changed my outlook on real estate investing and given me that extra motivation and reassurance I think is needed to make that first leap.Andres

This is a new day tho' ever since 2008, Dodd-Frank, law changes in 2012 and the S.A.F.E.

There are so many great free educational resources online on the details of flipping (and saving on taxes), and even more on straightforward rentals.

I have my own detailed plans and blueprints I’ve made myself and want to take them to an architect and see if they can get approved or if there’s any changes that need to be made.

I will change my parameters.

@Jeremy HarrisDodd frank and safe act laws have changed the rent to own strategy in the kast few years in such a way that it isn’t even a good option these days atleast if you do it legally .

They're going to cost a pretty good chunk of change, but it'll probably be less than the rent you lose in the long run.  

Just examples off the top of my head, lots of other factors.Look to change of use and repurposing.

Yes its good @Byron Scott, this allows you to vet them yourself and change them if you want to upgrade the units or not happy with the tenants. 

I believe the tax laws have changed making interest on a Heloc only tax deductible if you use it for your home or to buy another so there's real incentive to use it in that manner.
