You start well, but adding a bit more value upfront, such as positioning yourself as someone who "specializes in helping homeowners sell quickly and hassle-free," could increase receptiveness.Asking if they’re "hoping" to sell the house is smart and non-aggressive.

hello, I am under contract for an apartment building, and I will be using seller financing, and this is my first time doing that.can anyone offer any advice on things to look out for or special provisions to put in the contract or to avoid in a seller finance deal?

Hi Dave,I agree with Zachary above that it is fairly uncommon for an experienced tax professional to review only a certain portion or even an entire return someone has self-prepared.

I know the question is mainly focused on what sorts of special protections you will need as a landlord with a lease as opposed to a longer-term AirBnB booking, so let me answer that first. 

The fact that you were able to rent the property after a full gut renovation indicates a good return on your investment, and refinancing after the rehab was a smart move to recoup your cash and prepare for future deals.One key observation is the challenge of rehab budget overruns.

The reason for my question is that I saw Grocapitus list preferred opportunityLinked below:14-16% Short-Term Pref Equity Opportunity (grocapitus.com)From the terms it seems like the only thing special being offered to is 1st access to cashflow and exit funds.

Be prepared for higher rates/and or fees though.

I have been offering weekly discount but thought of doing a special with a minimum stay for those dates.  

We all signed leases individually and the landlords never had special zoning or permits.

This is a great example of how tax planning is as much or more important than tax preparation.
