Within a year my wife and I acquired four multi-families properties with a total of 20 units, and eventually another building to rent out (currently a bait and tackle shop) as well as an Ice House.

I like leverage to acquire a property, however I don't keep it for long.

This will be my 1st time acquiring a property through Subject to.

Also, all of my current 18 rentals have had an extensive remodel since acquired (3-4 years oldest brrrr).   

They're cheap to do, compared to the money that you would gt back. and these strategies can be used over and over again, with each property acquired or rental-renovated.

I've purchased two properties personally utilizing seller financing and represented at least a handful of buyers acquire properties with private mortgages over the past five years including friends and family members.

Hi John,As you mentioned, refinancing to acquire more properties is a great way to increase your return on equity. 

Keep it simple.With real estate it almost never makes sense to acquire LLC units over acquiring the assets.When you acquire LLC units, you are also acquiring any unlisted liabilities of that LLC - say someone had a trip and fall 3 weeks before you bought it, and then they sue the LLC a week after you close on the purchase... now it's your problem. 

If you've already got Airbnb rentals, make your cash while you can then acquire long-term cash flowing rentals.Finally, ideal Airbnb markets are not ideal Long-term rental markets. 

I'm looking to invest in my first property in Denver and would like to acquire a small multi-family (3-4 units), live in one of the units and rent out the others.
