If a property is in an LLC you are almost guaranteed to pull names and numbers of people not associated with the building at all, maybe even tenants, which will also auto-populate the owner names and change them at will with these incorrect contacts....can be a pain to undue.Overall in my opinion, can be great for individual skip tracing to reference other data, not so much for a large batch and sole reliance.

I've heard of other investors using this method to flip but not sure if this will work as buy and hold Just remember most hard money loans also have a personal guarantee.

@Kevin SiYes appreciation is not guaranteed and it clear your realtor has less than 10 years experienceWhat if you have 0 appreciation and your taxes and insurance double over next 3 years?

Sacramento and all surrounding areas are continuing to grow rapidly so higher appreciation is not guaranteed but is almost one.

Do your loan documents have an indemnification/hold harmless clause or personal guarantee in favor of the lender?

You can do your taxes yourself but I guarantee that you are missing out on more deductions than the CPA will cost you.A few high level points:1.

In the last few years, the market has been hot, so there have been sales or refinances for a return of capital after only 18 months to three years, but past results don't guarantee future performance.

The Seller guarantees that the property will be clean and unoccupied within 14 days of the valid offer.

I look for guarantee of the lease.

Nobody should ever sign up for anything that has these sort of "guarantees" or "promises" unless fully aware of this reality
