This is probably a more complicated measure of seller financing because the real estate can be destroyed and the buyer would back out or the assets would appreciate significantly and the seller would request more money.In the above case - I guess the buyer could buy the rights to the income from the seller until he brought out 100% of the LLC.50 is still a young age - I was thinking they would benefit from deferring the gain as a result of inheritance and getting a step up of basis for their heirs.Sorry if I misunderstood your LLC scenario.

I would first define what goals you want and what metrics you want to measure.

Hello Bigger Pockets community! This is my first post. My wife has some experience in real estate investing and introduced me to Bigger Pockets (BP) a few months ago. We're watching the live webinars and the BP shows...

I seem to recall there was stuff like a 24 hour on site manager required at all complexes (crazy and would put most small folks out of business) and a no income source rule that would force all but the higher end rentals into Section 8 whether they even understood it or were aiming for it (classic big penalty, stigma and lawsuit for violations).....I mentioned the small time folks may not all be interested in Section 8 or set up to participate and handle that market.Oddly, the assembly's goal was more housing, better managed housing, more affordable housing.
