These are the contacts I am searching for so that when I am ready to pull the trigger, I know exactly who to run to.However, I do want to confirm that we are in VERY similar situations and the options you are exploring (FHA, 203k, as well as purchasing an MFH by the end of the 2016/early 2017) is nearly identical to my own.

a lady i know has a townhouse condo unit that she wants to sell. there is currently a tenant in there. it is an end unit.back in october an end unit in top condition sold for 141k.right now an end unit that looks identical to the one i am trying to get under contract is on the market for 159k. 

@Ryan Billingsley Your numbers are almost identical to what I've experienced over the last 15 years.

The concern with the theoretical one year (as used in your example) when we chose to join forces, one of us is going to have been more or less invested than the other in terms of costs, time, etc...no two properties are going to perform/require management identically and it will be a hassle to try to square expenses up when we aren't just operating from a joint account under our company name.  

Make sure someone isn't trying to steal your identity.

Hi All - I'm looking at a group of duplexes in the North Dallas area, all on the same block/identical layouts and currently leased.  

Does anybody here know the implications under Israeli tax law of an Israeli citizen buying and/or selling American real estate?  

Seller financing is identical to bank financing, note and security deed.

In your scenario, given those two estimated settlement statements you posted, 20% down and then doing a cash advance from your credit card for $8,000 at 18.3%, is identical to doing 15% down w/ PMI and the higher rate.So, the question really is: If you keep that $8k in your checking account, are you going to put it to work somewhere guaranteed to earn you greater than 18.3% ROI?
