That's why appraisers do the comparative approach and then secondarily the cost approach.So far, 100% of the time you don't get dollar for dollar back from what I've seen.

I would set up calls and then sit in and listen, every day, typically a few times a day for around 6 months.

That alone can free up so many avenues for you.  

The terms are also similar to conventional investment property loans - 30 year fixed rate, 30 year amortization (or up to 10 years interest-only).

My GUESS is these homeowners have been tricked/screwed in to signing a long term power purchase agreement, often with no buy out provision.

If purchasing new real estate as part of your reinvestment, a cost segregation study can maximize depreciation deductions, offsetting future taxable income.For effective planning, assess how the sale price is allocated between real estate, tangible assets, and goodwill, as this determines the tax treatment.

I would include servicing costs of the loan and licensing costs.

To get that $10k yr you are giving up $250k tax free. ($300k has to be earned to net $250k.) so you’re looking 5 years of zero vacancy and zero capex to break even.

@Kathy MerkhLook up to see if they have a nmls number under nmls consumer accessWhat terms are they offering?

Should I just chalk it up as a loss and move on?
