You can probably make decent returns in Akron based on gross income and purchase price.

I have heard it used different ways.I have used a version of gap funding where the hard money lender funds 85% of the flip (purchase + renovation) and the gap funder funds 10% of the deal.

We have purchased 8 investment properties over the last 2 years, we strictly rent them out with section 8. 

I live in Lawrenceville, GA and am beginning my first house hack, working to purchase another property by the end of the year. 

You can still achieve it, but finding deals that actually pencil out on all criteria (low enough purchase price, low enough renovation cost, cash flows on the backend, all cash out at refinance) is pretty hard.

The seller's LLC pays capital gains tax and depreciation recapture, while the buyer's LLC uses the purchase price as the new cost basis.

I have 23 properties in Kenosha and earlier this year purchased two duplexes in Racine.

Quote from @Steven Catudal: Hi all,I am looking to partner with a friend of mine to purchase some rental properties.

I'm in the process of purchasing a STR and am intrigued by the 3-2-1 buy down. 1st year of the loan would be 4.5%, 2nd year 5.5%, 3rd year 6.5%, 4th year standard market rate.

@Malcolm Brown Are you planning to purchase a property in your personal name or via an LLC?
