Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

I agree that I am bullish on this taking the PHX market to the next level.

I’d offer to sign the form if I was allowed to cross out everything between brokerage firm and during the terms.

In part because the sink is under the window which to me seems like a natural spot for it. 

I would go with the one that is the specialist in the area.

Focus on absentee owners and start with the ones who live the farthest away and only own one property in the area since they have the least use for the property.You can also drive for dollars, looking for anomalies of disrepair and then look them up in the tax records and use a site like Spokeo to do cheap skip tracing.

They will usually want to see you have the capital for closing costs and some "reserves", meaning they want you to have a few months left over to cover any surprises.

The algorithm has no idea if the problem as a dysfunctional layout or just the fact that it is dated and nobody has spent the money to update the property.  

Unless you have a clause in the purchase of the entity that clearly makes you responsible for the entity from the day that you buy it(Indemnification) I wouldn't bother with the LLC.Good luck man. all the best!
