Nevertheless, maybe you know some stuff I don't, I guess based on the numbers you presented and the circumstances, that this was my first inclination.

Hanging around in a deal after their target IRR is achieved only risks missing it and disappointing their investors who wouldn't be inclined to reinvest.

So I don't know if they will investigate, but given my conversation with an investigator I'm inclined to believe they will at least make a few phone calls.

I would be inclined to play dumb on the issue.

At this time, I just need to know about purchasing properties in my name only.My reason for this concern is that my spouse is 100% negative about pretty much anything in the world, and has no inclination to learn about anything financial.

I maintain all decision making.I feel i made really good purcahses on both of the properties so I'm so inclined to get give up 50% equity. however, getting 50% of my cash in could really help me get my next deal.i know i haven't given you a lot to work with but any thoughts or comments would be awesomeBryanNew investor from Northern VA

However, he is worried (naturally) about eating a huge capital gains tax and therefore although he would like to sell 3-5 he is currently more inclined to sell 1-2.A bit more info on this scenario:Landlord is interested in selling us properties A & B that have each been in his portfolio for 15+ years.

It does mean that you will have to inform your tenant that you are not interested in selling but from what I have heard that seems to be your best choice.If this house was nothing but trouble or you we sick of real estate or wanted to get a commecial property I might be inclined to take the offer.

I am inclined to pass on it as it does not meet my personal goal of total ROI > 14% (my numbers show 9.14%) and a Cash on cash > 10% (currently 6.2%) and these numbers were calculated on the fact that they accept my low ball offer of 170k!

Lenders are inclined to lower their rates when you shift the risk of the deal to yourself (the borrower) and/or have done a few loans with them proving you are experienced (a portfolio and references of your deals aren't necessarily a bad thing either).
