What I mean is, some investors look strictly at cash on cash return, some look at cap rate, others just want to make sure their mortgage is covered.

Happy to provide feedback in return and share one of the lead magnets we’ve recently created for review!

My cost basis for my properties are consistently off from my tax returns because Stessa will include everything in the basis even though it shouldn't be.  

If done right most of these gains are tax-free- $40K in equity capture (profit) with $20K out of pocket and 13% cash on cash thereafter (300%+ returns)- $24K of equity capture with $32K out of pocket and 36% cash on cash returns thereafter (75%+ returns)- $41K of equity capture with $27K out of pocket and 12% cash on cash returns thereafter (150%+ returns)None of the above numbers include loan pay-down or appreciation. 

Legitimate, in this case, means that the entity is part of an overall business investment strategy whereby you have a business plan, tax returns, and the funds you seek are for further business expansion.If, however, the LLC is a stand alone entity, is not profitable, or is not legitimate, then your probably better off putting into your personal name and securing funding that way, or still talking to local or regional banks to see if they have any loan programs available where you might be able to secure financing.

Note I strive to minimize cash flow because it gets taxed versus other RE return are easy to defer or avoid the taxes.  

Looking for any creative input on how something like this could be structured.Taking part of the purchase price of real estate as a charitable donation and using said deduction to lower your taxes is tantamount to sending a cover letter to the IRS with your return requesting an audit.  

Investment: $200K; ROI: 26.29%/year; 10-year equity: $1.1M; Total cash return: $1.2M. 10-year equity multiple: 8x on $200K investment.

If we sense there is a red flag, were asking them to upload additional documents like tax returns w2's etc.

Ideally they did not pay over retail because if they did they could easily lose the money they put into the property if the loan gets called.
