Yup and its a joke when you have these proclamations from those running for pres that they are going to magically accelerate construction.. they can do it if they want to pay 100% of it.. but if they expect the private sector that has to work through local zoning etc.. that aint happening and you cant force people to sell the land cheaper than they think its worth or can get on the open market just because we need starter housing.

I put 20% down using personal and private lending.How did you add value to the deal?

I just go in at the first of every month and code each line item to the corresponding property and note what the expense was for (Repair, HOA Fee, Mortgage payment, etc).

For example, a private hot tub or pool can command a premium in most markets, which directly impacts ROI.Cost vs.

@Rennell Goudeau Hi Rennell, send me a private message and we can connect.

This is a conventional loan where they also cover your PMI (private mortgage insurance).

We're exploring creative ways to provide him with the cash needed for the down payment while avoiding triggering a taxable event.One strategy we're considering is purchasing his future primary residence ourselves, making the mortgage payments, and then, once we've built enough equity—comparable to the appraised value of his rental properties—transferring the title to him as a form of exchange.What are your thoughts on this approach?

Also, if this is something that you are looking for in a hard money lender, you might want to look into more of a private money lending model verse anything else. 

This was 2015 so although it didn't cash flow, the other unit offset my mortgage by quite a bit.

Maybe a mortgage lender can chime in.
