My ideal time to have an appraisal complete is post renovation of the house, but BEFORE the tenant moves in.

funds only go into interpleader after months of sitting in escrow. the court just does not hand the money to the seller either.. if not agreed upon the funds go to the state etc.

No need to invest out of state, when you are in one of the best places in the world to invest in real estate. 

I do a lot of private lending and we do make some passive interest, but the good fixing flippers make the bulk of the money.

The Registered Agent will record the documents on your behalf so only their name and information appear on the documents.

Simply covering the mask as sales pushers. 

I mainly want to ask if these assumptions are reasonable and if there's anything I haven't considered:(1) multifamily units in NJ close to New York City, ~$1,000,000, 20% down payment, (2) Using the following assumptions: 4% appreciation rate, 6.5% interest rate and 5.0% refinance after 5 years, $10,000 yearly maintenance fee(3) ~$6,000 monthly rental and assume 3% increase yearly with 5% vacancy rate(4) Based on the above, the calculated IRR if selling at the 10th year is ~19% (considering tax benefits) and ~17% (without tax benefits).

@Annabelle Rozen  I believe the stability of the rental market within Allentown is rather robust.
