The .5%-5% are hesitant as the REI profile is as disastrous as they've seen and they keep  reading stuff from pre-covid to judge the analysis and we all know that won't materialize.Then for 5-15%  is nervous cause the COL has jumped in their face, plus the aforementioned issues.

@Mario MoralesCash-on-cash return measures the amount of cash flow relative to the amount of cash invested in a property investment and is calculated on a pre-tax basis.In theory if your rental income increases by X amount annually due to the rehab while holding your expenses constant so it directly increases your bottom line (cash flow), you can calculate the CoC return by inputting X/$45k (the cost).

. :-)@Joyce A DebrahHi Joyce,I suppose part of your question rests in how much of a roll you want to take on in your real estate investments. 

Price: $1.2MOffer: $900kI had my agent call to see if the seller would accept this price because it's been on the market for a year.The seller's agent said the owner had rejected a $1M offer in the past, but it's been awhile so maybe and asked for a formal offer with proof of funds and pre-approval.Why?

The rent roll was so close to 1% of list price (which in my opinion is too high to start with) that I was instantly interested. 

From an income tax perspective, the LLC provides you with absolutely no benefit.Even from a "anonymity" perspective - if that is a Single Member LLC, the K-1 from those syndicates is still required by the IRS to be issued directly to the beneficial owner - you.If you don't make it a single member LLC, say your spouse is also a member, now you have a partnership tax filing - if it holds a number of LLC interests, it is now a partnership filing that is a pain to file to roll all of those activities in and report it on to your personal returns.In short...most likely it is best to keep it simple. 

Do roll out tables. 

Would enjoy hearing feedback and advice on what beginning steps I need to take to get this thing rolling. 

This is the only thing holding me back from getting pre-qualified for another property. 

I am interested in building my wealth and need a great agent with amazing resources that can help me get the ball rolling.
