I just put two long-term rental properties on the market that we rehabbed in desirable area of West End Boise and demand is a little lower than expected.

Besides what you've mentioned, here are a few additional common expenses to consider:Landscaping (especially if there’s grass or common outdoor areas)Pest control (sometimes needed for multi-family properties)Legal/accounting fees (for lease updates, tax filing, etc.)Vacancy reserves (for covering costs during turnover)I can assist in helping you find funding, LMK! 

Hi,I would like to connect with anyone who has experience in EB5 funding of projects. 

After all PITI, utility, and services (lawncare and cleaning) costs I have $7,225.I set aside 25% of this for my maintenance fund.The remainder funds my lifestyle, wife has a Tesla, and quarterly vacations as well as business growth.In 2023 I am tracking to build 4 duplex units designed as room rentals funded in part from a recent land sale.

So depending on when you're looking to use the funds a fixed might make more sense. 

Can he just wire the funds to escrow, I sign the deed of trust, and that's that?

This property can be refinanced at any time you feel is right after the 1031 exchange is complete to buy other property or access funds for any reason.  

As for capital, I will be utilizing my HELOC for initial fund on first deal.

Instead, I have established a donor advised fund (DAF) for charitable giving during and after my death. 

Doesn't seem like the FED has much control this time around considering the 10Y T bill (and 5Y) continues to march higher even with the FED fund rate dropping.
