After crunching my numbers, taking all costs into consideration, I usually end up with an offer around 75 - 85% of asking price and around 60 - 70% of ARV.Let me know if that sounds typical to you.

I'm crunching the numbers, but the amount subject to UBIT is the part I'm not 100% clear on.  

I have a background in financial analysis so that has helped, as I enjoy crunching the numbers, and finding the deals.As I move forward though I want to learn from others, as up to now I have done much myself, and feel there is a great opportunity for me to learn, and sharpen my game.

I am one of those hands on people so it would help me immensely to have someone with experience to crunch the numbers with me.I have some properties I have been looking at in Kent and Tacoma that may be potentially good deals.Would appreciate any help possible.Renata M

Crunch your numbers, run some comps, and if everything works out then it's your call to pull the trigger.

I am still awaiting the exact rates and crunch the numbers but strategically should I try to take out as much cash as I can or leave some in the property?

I do have the means of getting rid of the trailers for a decent price when that time comes as I have many friends with excavators and will just crunch it up and haul them away when the time homes.

You just need to crunch the numbers 

Here's some numbers crunching with a 10 000$ loan at 10% for 5 years:1) Borrower pays Capital + Interest : Payment you get monthly - 211.38$Over 5 years, 60 x 211.38 = 12 689 $ So you now have 12 689$ from a 10 000$ investment, on a 5 years period.Your annual ROI is 4.88%.2) Borrower pays Interest only + Balloon payment at the end (full capital amount)Payment you get monthly - 83.33$ (10% / 12 x 10 000$)Over 5 years, 60 x 83.33 = 5000$ + 10 000$ = 15 000$ So you now have 15 000$ from a 10 000$ investment, on a 5 years period.Your ROI is 8.45%.3) Now what happens if you buy a rental property, let's say a SFH at 100 000$ that rent for about 1200$ a month and assuming 50% of the rent goes to maintenance, capex, taxes, etc which is the average cost of ownership (most of the time expenses are less than that).

I am crunching numbers like crazy to see if it makes sense or not.
