If it's under one parcel then it should be treated as one 10 unit, which I believe should be able to be financed pretty easily?

This seems easier with meals, hotels or rental cars where there is a per day cost that is easily calculated.Also, not to create an awkward situation, but it seems you both have a different take on whether the value of reward points are deductible (I spent ~21,000 points on Southwest and the ticket purchase would have been ~$250). 

The townhomes are spacious, easily accommodating two generous apartments within a single unit.

It allows us to:- create a polished, branded experience - easily make updates - market our other properties and value-add content 

We used to own 50 homes together so I know his quality and how he ran his deals. what I worry about is when its up front payment and how many people are paying .. this company could easily get over loaded and as we all know there is a finite amount of contractors in these marekts that are worth a dam.

Hey Orlando,I always recommend starting where you know, where you know people, and where you can easily get to...  

After moving my office home my name is attached to too many properties and easily findable.

Would you pay for a subscription model say $1000 a month where you got access to knowledgeable investor agent who had zero stake on if the transaction closed but provided you with local knowledge, strategies, ran comps, looked over deals, even looked over home inspection reports, talked in the phone, basically a consultant (you could possibly tack on services like writing offers or seeing a property in person) my thought is if you buy a property relatively quickly, it’s much cheaper than paying 2.5% even if you end up paying for the service for a few month’s and realize it’s not a good time for you to buy you are only out a few thousand dollars as opposed to hundreds of thousands of dollars, this would basically take the agent’s need to sell you a home out the process, presumably there motivation would be to keep you subscripted for as long as possible but you could easily just cancel and if you were interested in buying later resubscribe than.

I'm eventually going to be a Seller as I unload my portfolio within the next 5 years.This Ruling means I don't have to worry about Buyer Agents refusing to show their Buyer Clients my properties because I didn't offer a Buyer Agent cut on the MLS.In my Market of multi-million dollar properties, 2.5% Buyer Broker Commissions is easily $50k.My overall assumption is that the incentive of the Buyer Broker Commission effectively steers Buyers away from these properties or the Buyer Broker just doesn't get paid since the Buyer really doesn't sign an exclusive in my Market.This ruling seems to take away the unintended consequences of the old system to let a listed property with no Buyer Broker Commission split languish.

Probably not an issue for seller financing, but make sure there are no prepayment penalties.You can calculate payment and balloon amount easily enough with excel or google sheets.
