While researching and evaluating homes, I had an idea for managing the down payment and emergencies for the first property.When I find a property with good cash flow, I could use a private money lender (PML) to cover the down payment and closing costs.

How do you currently find and evaluate investment opportunities?

If you have better options, you can share your details for evaluation. 

I would help to know exactly what numbers you are inputing into the calculator and what deals you are evaluating. 

As far as your duplex, I'd say to evaluate your options for overall return.

Can you come up with a vision with your wife for how you want it to look and feel and then evaluate pieces accordingly?

Hello, I am evaluating custodians and LLC set up options for what will be my Checkbook Roth IRA/LLC.I see some of the custodians have a partner who will charge a chunk money to set up the LLC $800-1k+.

We view the risk of a 2nd and would add 3-5% higher (min) for the risk and unsecured we would not even touch, but I would put it at 2x a second.Curious to hear how others evaluate risk?

I'm just trying to evaluate all of my options.

Shouldn’t they be evaluating my current risk?
