I guess the purpose for this is to help fund community improvements and maintenance though it's a bit unusual since HOA fees and property taxes typically cover these.

Insurance can be an issue as you would technically have to get it in the LLC's name and then you can have a personal umbrella to cover any overages. 

Quote from @Eric Prescott: Yes, I understand that appreciation often means less cash flow and good cash flow typically means weaker appreciation, but there is a sweet spot where there is decent appreciation and sufficient cash flow to cover expenses so that the property pays for itself, and that is what I'm honing in on. 

See if you can get a subject to lease agreement from one of your friends or associates.  

It would be great to connect with those who have already covered some distance on a similar journey as well as those who are just starting!

Since loans aren’t income, they’re not subject to capital gains tax.

@Shannon Mogilinski which areas do you cover? 

DSCR stands for Debt Service Coverage Ratio, which is a calculation that determines if a loan's income covers its annual debt service. 

After 8 years as a director in the kitchen and bath retail space, I'm bringing my positive energy and relationship building to a wholesaling firm covering Los Angeles and San Diego counties (we specialize in single family homes priced between $400-$1.7M).

I didn’t think it was tenants because it’s a multi unit property so not sure who would cover all four.
