Hey fellow BP'ers,So I've been getting PM's about the new rules and though I would post since there is a common theme: What the heck are the actual rules?

You may need to have survey performed on the property that might be paid for by you or by the seller or it may be common practice in the area for particular pardon you to pay for it.

Common fees will include a set-up fee, a leasing fee for each turnover or a lease renewal fee, marking up maintenance, retaining late fees, and more.

For example, both of the following are possible: 1) Extreme leverage - an "All-in" bet on appreciation: A syndicator can raise capital for multifamily, take out bridge debt on a low-cap rate property, and then lever up again with preferred equity to effectively give the common equity a 90%+ leverage.

Finding lots that are 0.13 to 0.10 acre is common.

Most of what I shared are proactive measures you can take to greatly reduce your liability exposure and shield you from a host of claims that commonly arise in real estate.

Hi Mario, Very common method.

Tax properties going up every year is pretty common up here in the Northeast (NY, NJ & PA); but our property values (tax basis) also go up slightly.

but yes its a common business practice in many arenas. 

Common sense is not so common.
