As far as the question about LTV you should be able to get about 80@ of value in a note.Once again, rethink the deal as you wrote it and work it as a business and not a family thing, thanksgiving can be either very quiet or very loud in the future if advantage is taken or perceived taken on this deal.

Anyone who tells you that a degree “doesn’t mean what it used to” is only looking at a perceived financial benefit, not the intrinsic value you will gain from the experience.

Don't need to incur the costs to establish and annually administer unnecessary legal entities, don't need to incur various filing fee costs like CAs $800 franchise tax fee which would kill the profitability of most of my SFRs, I don't need to worry about my entities being pierced because of I failed to engage in a lot of meaningless formalities, keeps my overall record keeping and tax returns cleaner and less costly, don't need to deal with the growing trend in various states to disregard what are perceived to be ersatz legal entity protections, how many more do you need?

Sounds like I'll probably just finance from the start as there really is no benefit to having the cash up front except for the faster closing and perceived strength of the offer.

Either to folks who want what they perceive as an updated home in the neighborhoods they can afford, or to other investors who will buy turnkey rentals in those neighborhoods.
