The Complete Guide to Flipping Properties
Title: The Complete Guide to Flipping PropertiesFormat: PDF
Pages: 238
Excerpt from Introduction: Buying and selling real estate can be one of the most profitable and lucrative investments activities an individual can participate in. There are many approaches to investing in real estate, most of which are centered around various time horizons. On one end of the investment spectrum is the buy-and-hold strategy, where an investor might purchase a property and hold it for many years. On the other end is the buy-and-sell strategy, where an investor might hold the property for only a few months, weeks, or even days. It is the latter of these two strategies that I focus on in this book.

Pages: 257
Excerpt from Introduction: This is a book of revelations.
Tax revelations. It reveals a multitude of little-known tax-saving ideas for homeowners that can put substantial dollars in their pockets. In fact, it is packed with the largest collection in print of tax-planning ideas for the homeowner. Beyond the garden variety deductions for mortgage interest and real estate taxes, homeowners have a cornucopia of tax opportunities. These include such little-known breaks as getting tax-free rent from a short-term home rental, using the generous $250,000/$500,000 home sale exclusion to shelter gain from the sale of other real estate, and pocketing tax-free mortgage proceeds when
trading up to a more expensive home.
