., it is perfectly fine for two LLCs to own differing or identical tenant in common interests in one piece of real estate.  

. - not my first choice, unethical, needs cashb) Get to do a 13% or 19% rent increase if rents haven't been increased since May 1977 or May 1976, respectively - I will find out if there are records going this far back in due diligence phase, if offer gets acceptedc) Operate with a loss or very low NOI for 1 year, after that we will be eligible to apply for a Just & Reasonable Rent Adjustment. - with this, we can potentially increase rents by up to 145% depending on a comparison with baseline 1977 level rent amount.I have 2 questions:1) If there exists these 2 other, legal ways to increase rent in a rent controlled area, why does it seems like the only option most investors consider is cash for keys?

They suggested adding an external cleanout for about $8,000, and we agreed to split the cost by adjusting the home’s price.However, after installing the cleanout, we discovered that the actual problem was far more severe.

Ask if the seller wants to be the bank, explain the savings in cap gains, and then see if you can structure a lower down payment to go direct and then you can pay the price they want if you adjust the principal and interest in your favor.

If you reported less than what they think you should have - expect an automatic adjustment, a letter or even an audit.Since in case of private money you as an investor act similar to a bank paying interest to the lender - should you send your private lender form 1099-INT?

As of about 5 years ago when I was inquiring, RBC US did provide US mortgages for Canadians however not a 30 year term, only ARM (Adjustable Rate Mortgages) which is a similar mortgage product to what Canadians are used to, difference being after a 5 year term it would flip to an adjustable rate mortgage.
