Pure loan, yes; on deed, no.

If you need to buy a vehicle in your company's name, that's a lot different then if you are just looking to segregate personal and business funds.If you just need to segregate your funds, you can just take out a personal credit card that you devote to purely business expenses and use it as a business line of credit.

The people who are outbidding you are people in exactly your same situation: owner-occupants who lower their cost of living by buying small multi's in an increasingly unaffordable market while simultaneously building long-term equity.If you're looking at this as a pure investment deal (which we all do on BP), nothing in desirable areas makes sense in SLC (that doesn't need a ton of work).If you're looking for a living situation that builds equity and is some place that you want to live, this is the way to do it. 

The math is genius, pure genius!  

Where experience will be a bigger factor would be on short term rehab, bridge, ground up deals or on perm loans for pure commercial properties (5+MF or other commercial types).

@Brad Hasseler just pure communication between landlord, PM, and tenant.

I have been involved in residential mold extraction for nothing other than pure lack of HVAC use.

If this house needed some work or was bank owed, it would sell below what the market value was at that point in time, which would make it appear to appreciate more, purely looking at the sales price, but you have to account for any capital expenses which were invested in the property.

I'm not saying that's right for everyone but it keeps our motives pure. 

You should look at opportunities to be a purely passive investor @Quenn Garris.
