Samana appealed to me - it’s gorgeous, green, mountainous and lush (surprisingly so), small, friendly villages, amazing beaches.

Following David Green’s Core 4 strategy (realtor, contractor, property manager, and lender) makes investing anywhere feel solid.

You posted this thread, so you have already started.Just like @Jonathan Greene mentioned, don't chase the quickest and easiest method to wealth.

It would be an adjustable rate starting at current rates about 7%, with rates hopefully coming down through the next year, if I bought a quadplex in Toledo that i'm currently looking at for $380k, it would be grossing me $4250 a month with a payment back to Chase of about $2200, still in the green after insurance, property taxes and management fees, and the money i'm borrowing against will still be invested HOPEFULLY continuing to grow with the current stock market.Anyone ever bought a property with an SBL?

I have insurance either way, but he said it's still best to split them up, with each having their own LLC.My plan is to create a new LLC for each one:-123 MAIN ST, LLC-123 GREEN ST, LLC...and then use my original LLC as the "Holdings Company", which then owns those 2 LLC's, and any additional properties I acquire.As of now, I have 1 business credit card and 1 business account for *JOHN SMITH PROPERTY INVESTMENT, LLC* -- this makes things easy from a bookkeeping standpoint.

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: You aren't going to get the best options posting that here.

It's an excellent addition to David Green's book "Long Distant REI".

But the situation did get me to start thinking on how to properly analyze a small multifamily house.I've only invested in SFRs so I'm a little green when it comes to properly analyzing a duplex.

Additionally, you may not be able to get multiple meters to a SFR without violating zoning and building codes.Go green

If the household income cannot keep up with sales prices, it's very hard to get a green light to increase supply.
