If I bought what you are looking at, I would only buy it at a price in which is in line with how it is permitted. 

It's about 20 miles away in an entirely different sub-market.Great price range though. 

Downside is setting the “ sale” price such that the original investors get fair value and NewCo investors aren’t getting a bad deal.  

I say this because every investment is an opportunity cost, and if you're going to take money out of stocks (whether in a brokerage account or 401k) that could be earning 8-10%, you should have confidence that your acquisitions are going to perform better to account for the additional risk. 

Purchase price: $68,000 Cash invested: $70,000 Sale price: $195,000 I purchased a long-term rental property from the MLS that had multiple contractor issues and significant delays.

The larger the purchase price the greater the spread you need between purchase price plus holding costs plus rehab cost and ARV.  40k projected profit on a 600k project is too skinny for me. 

Cash flow is defined as the money left over after paying for all expenses, including setting aside a certain amount to cover projected expenses like maintenance, vacancies, or capital expenditures.EXAMPLE:Property Price: $250,000Down Payment (25%): $62,500Loan Amount: $187,500Interest Rate: 6.5%Loan Term: 30 yearsMonthly Mortgage Payment: $1,185Monthly ExpensesMortgage Payment: $1,185Property Taxes: $250Insurance: $100Maintenance (10% of rent): $250Vacancy and CapEx (20% of rent): $500Rental IncomeMonthly Rent: $2,500Total Expenses: $2,285Cash FlowNet Cash Flow: $215 per month 💰However, there are many other factors to consider.

Here's the deal:Purchase Price (PP): $95kRenovation Budget (via HML): $60kTotal All-In Cost: $155kARV (After Repair Value): Around $200kRefinance (via DSCR Loan): 7% interest, 30-year fixedRefinance Details:After the refi, I will pay back the Hard Money Loan (HML) at 11.95% with 3 points:HML: $60,000Interest/fees: $3,585Other costs: $1,800Total to pay back HML: $65,385After the refi, I will have $84,615 left in cash.Cash Flow & Expenses:Expected Rent Income: $1,700/monthProperty Management (PM): $126/monthInsurance: $100/monthTaxes: $126/monthMortgage: $1,043.75/monthTotal Expenses: $1,395.75/monthSo my monthly cash flow is about:$1,700 - $1,395.75 = $304.25/month in cash flow.Return on Investment:Cash Invested After Refi: About $18,385 (after paying off HML and closing costs).Annual Cash Flow: $304.25 * 12 = $3,651Cash-on-Cash Return (CoC): $3,651 / $18,385 = 19.8%I didn’t account for maintenance costs since it’s a full gut rehab, and everything is brand new.

In the unfortunate event someone passes away and the property transfers via probate or a will, that fair market price gets "stepped up" so no taxes are paid.I would check with a CPA, but this is my understanding.

Many firms will offer bookkeeping, but they outsource overseas and mark up the price.
