3) Dealing with Contractors: guess you found it's not as easy as the "gurus" make it out to be. 4) S8 slightly above.guarateed Rents: typical naive mistake.

@Mike Sferacorrect. one small tweak, if you're buying fixer, you wouldn't typically buy with a 'mortgage.' you'd use cash or a hard money loan. 

That's my typical price range for Milwaukee suburbs and both will break even at 20% down, slightly positive at 25% and I usually end up with 30% down to get to the 1.2 DSCR.

Reasoning for asking this is that it could potentially be a beneficial long play on acquiring a property through assumption, and as we go down in interest rates, utilize this monetary benefit to refi as it comes at a mere .5%.

So if I am looking at an asset as a 10 year play - I look more at the location, schools and how has this market performed in the past excluding covid and 2008 which were extenuating circumstances.Reality is right now shorter term plays do not work based on numbers and cost of financing - we went through this same thing in 2001-2004ish timeframe where properties would appreciate 2-3% per year and after buying costs and closing costs - you were not making money on assets unless you performed the labor or found a really good deal.this is how real estate "typically" is - which is why everyone always says location location location - because after a decent holding period, you will win.

These are really questions for your attorney - the more typical scenario for a jv like this is you have a new LLC where you are the manager of the LLC and the investor also owns a percentage of it.that way you don't have to deal with transferring it etc. 

Yes typically you'll file the wholesale activity on a schedule C unless it was done in an entity (S Corp, Partnership, C Corp) but I see above you don't have these.

In addition to that, though, there's several other LTR markets that offer pretty decent returns (6-8% ROI with $250+ cash flow per door is possible) for what you typically see in Florida, without accounting for appreciation

Quote from @Brandon Croucier: 20% down is terrific on land.It’s a non income producing asset which has increased volatility, typically I see 65 LTV max on land as of late.Thank you Brandon!

It was a typical house purchase deal.
