I'm trying to Figure out how to make this potential deal work.Seller wants to sell but not right away because they still use the house for some income. 

I don't want the opportunity to pass so I'm reaching out to family and friends who would potentially want to invest too.

If you did a cost segregation study on the property in the past, you may have to recapture the depreciation taken in the past.capital gain tax rates are 0, 15 or 20%There is also a potential 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax.Also, don't forget state income taxes depending on what state the property is located or your state of residency.Best of luck!

The market does offer lower priced investment opportunities and higher cashflow returns, with ongoing revitalization projects like the DORA boosting appreciation potential.

Real estate investing has been a passion of mine for time with my mother also having invested early on where I likely have gotten the love and desire to follow similar foot steps.I have taken last 6 months to educate myself and currently own a single family home as primary residence and would like to expand to multi family properties (2-4 units) for additional stream of income, not to mention potential tax benefits for long-term investing.Based on current living situation, I have a fair amount of equity established in my primary residency along with having enough cash to either pay off house completely or use towards investing in a multi family property.Given that I'm the sole source of income for our household with my wife being the home maker for our two kids under 2, trying to weigh out risks with getting started now or perhaps waiting. 

My mortgage will be $2,005/month, and I’m budgeting up to $600/month for utilities, leaving a potential monthly cash flow of $995.I also set up an LLC and a business account to track rental income and expenses.Questions:Do you have any advice for me as a young real estate investor?

We have three potential options.The first option is for me to completely owner-finance his purchase.

You can potentially purchase multiple properties, which is a huge plus for spreading out risk.

Sellers may struggle to mentally shift from "owner" to "tenant," which can create challenges with boundaries and property care.Security Deposit:If you’re doing a temporary leaseback, be sure to collect a substantial security deposit to cover potential damages and ensure they vacate on time.
