To anyone raising money, there is nothing more sacred than other people trusting you with their hard earned funds and retirement money.

Do you foresee reducing the occupancy and you already mentioned increasing the rents.

Extrapolate this over the long term, that un invested capital, waiting patiently for an opportunity in real estate and earns a lower compound rate. 

So I was hoping people here could educate me.I'm trying to calculate the interest earned on a $100k loan over 15 years at 7%. 

As a way to reduce this risk, some cities require the owner or manager within a local area.

Depreciation allows you to spread out the expense of assets over several years, reducing taxable income each year.If you need further clarification, financing for your projects, or just have more questions please feel free to reach out to me directly.

These measures will not only improve the quality of life for residents but also reduce the dependence on cars, which is particularly important for those without access to private vehicles.

Just wait until the FED starts reducing rates...

Why would the landlord not want to be the managing member/ sole member of the management company and just take its earnings back onto his 1040 directly without passing them through to another shell company?

You could do that for 3-5% down.. live in it for a year to meet typical requirements for use… then move into a new house, and ‘voila’ - you bought your second (multi-family) rental for 3-5% down instead of 20-25%.It is entirely possible though that you will face debt to income issues on your first rental if your lender wants to see a year or twos worth of rental history before counting your rental income to offset your debt payments…so beware of that.Otherwise you may have to look at creative financing… maybe bringing in a money person where it was a short term investment for them, like “I’ll give you 8% on your money (versus the 4-5,% you could earn from the bank CD) if you will partner with me on this purchase.”
