Retitling real estate later is going to be more expensive and disruptive than investors anticipate.Most importantly, forming an LLC alone does very little alone.

Hi everyone,I’m looking for guidance from experienced investors because I’m dealing with a situation I didn’t anticipate.I recently purchased a rental property in Moore, OK. I completed full due diligence—home inspect...

They wanted to start the lease later than I offered (6 weeks from now).

If not, could he carry the 250k as a second lien and forgive it later? 

I hope to use my equity to fund a rental property later on this year but I am unsure if it matters to apply now or when I plan to make the purchase.

Rates are higher than conventional loans, but you can refinance later once the property is stabilized.Seller financing is also worth exploring, especially if the current owner is motivated.

The HOA was a mess and later filed for bankruptcy.

Even if they're relatively turnkey, you can refinance and pull capital 3-6 months later if you goal is to scale

Did some research a few years ago, but life and covid got in the way, I Blinked and it's 5 years later.

You can absolutely do the cost segregation in 2026 and use a Section 481(a) adjustment (via Form 3115) to catch up on missed depreciation instead of amending your 2025 return.That timing actually lines up nicely with your plan to qualify for Real Estate Professional Status in 2026, since that’s when you could fully leverage those passive losses.If you’re prepping for REP status, start tracking your hours now so it’s easy to document later.
