@Daniel Dietz Thank you for all the information you provided! This level of detail was exactly what I was looking - appreciate your time!

@Melvin List, Yes, I have considered that option. Depending on final purchase price, I have capital to purchase at most 2 of them, assuming 25% down using a conventional loan. Just wanted to pose this question to the group to get ideas on creative financing and options.

@Taylor L. Each building would be cashflowing around $800/mo and 5 total buildings. Calculation was based on after mortgage and expenses, assuming 25% down.

@Daniel Dietz Thank you for the insight! These properties are about a 3 hour drive from me and I have not completed any deals that are structured the way you mentioned using a PMP. 

When you bring in a PMP for the downpayment on the loan, can you go into details on what type of legal entity do you use and how it is structured?

Hey everyone, I recently saw five quadplexes - all separately owned and listed - in a C+ area on the MLS.

Each property has (4) two-bed one-bath units. They are listed for around $210k - 250k each. Rent in the area is around $750-850.

My issue is coming up with the down payments (20-25%) for each one.

Assuming each are "good" deals with a 15%+ ROI and $800+ monthly cashflow after all expenses, how would you go about finding the capital to purchase these? how will the note/mortgage need to be structured?

@Allen Tong I’ve been speaking to city planning and zoning. I’ve gone up the food chain a bit and still receiving the same answer. It’s a two part problem for me first part is the land is zoned SF 6 and the second part is the area is designated for low density in the cities master plan. They won’t even let me request re-zoning. I’m trying to convey the point the tax value on each lot will be more than double if they allow me to build multi family instead of SF but falling on deaf ears so far. I can still get 5 SF houses on the land but would rather have 4 four-plex. 

Thanks for the information Matt.

Hi @Matt C., who or which department of the city do you contact and speak with to find out if they will allow this type of project? My uncle is in a similar situation, where he owns two SFHs right next to each other and owns the land. He's interested in demolishing the two SFHs and building 3 duplexes instead. Just gathering information at this time.

Hi Everyone! I'm new to BiggerPockets and recently signed up for Plus membership. I currently have one small 2/1 condo rental property in the Tampa area. I have so many questions about real estate investment and am hoping I can network with other forum members here to learn and grow. 

I'm currently trying to analyze deals in the area. but one thing I fear is overpaying for a property and thinking it was a "deal." Would love to share some of the reports from the Rental calculator and getting advice/feedback on if you guys think it would be a good deal or what would make it a good deal.

Looking forward to talking with you all!
