Post: Wrap mortgage- Disclose to bank

I read & talk to BP that the best way to prevent acceleration & due on sale is just to tell the bank i'm going to pay for the pre-foreclosure seller in exchange for his property title. The thing that concern me is that why would the bank agreed to allow me to pay for the seller? Do they check my credit report? Maybe ask for a collateral from me?

If i do a subject 2 and seller financing, do i give the title to the buyer and lose my advantage in depreciation, tax advantages and appreciation/equity? 

Then does it go the same with lease option?

According to several real estate agents i had encountered, the area where i want to invest have high appreciation but low or no cashflow. My goal is to have equity and cashflow by owning the properties but after hearing this, i'm not sure anymore. What strategy would be best if there is high appreciation but low cashflow? Oh there is a high CG tax to control RE bubble.

Hello BP, do you think it is a good investment when there is a secondary apartment located in a very good strategic and vibrant homeowner single family area?

I been trying to look at area where it is more rental occupied market than owner occupied. Naturally good area have middle to upper income earners and most of them so far are SMEs. In my knowledge renting to entrepreneur will have more difficulty than white collar workers. And now i think about it, what determine a rental occupied market?

Hello BP, after finding an area to invest in do you go around asking and know the hospital, companies, University & etc to see what tenant or niche you can do?

Hi Dante...

It is a question many have.... I would say many of the same aspects of the advice you see on the sf and multiplexes can apply (similar on cash flow analysis, screening tenants, etc)..

Also, I am assuming buy and rent (but one could try a flip I suppose). 

Be sure also and look at the UNIQUE aspects of condos... Just big picture here and very broad strokes:

Dues and common ownership are a major one. The dues can erode cash flow, but we do have millions on non-owner occupied condos in the US housing market. So some people make them work (I have had 4; 2 currently). 

Reserves and association politics are another big issue. Ideally, the association manages the premises and finances (but the reality may be not so much...)

The declaration by laws and such are key, and they prevent all sorts of things (like you working on items outside your unit or even renting your unit). So before you even start to look know the facts about the association.

Look at owner versus renter ration (this will impact financing and marketability). 

Lifestyle... Really if you can never imagine running a weed whacker or fixing a loose deck rail or mowing a lawn, then the condo may fit your rental management abilities. But, again, if you love that exterior DIY stuff then not so much..

Also, if you have any specific questions, just quote or mention me  and I can come back and fill in (I don't know much about massive conversions or building or developing new ones, just owned and rented a few and been on 3 boards).....

 Thank Michael. Have you ever renovate a large condo unit into 2 or more smaller single bedroom bathroom unit?
