Is it typical for larger homes to  command a higher LTV(80-85%)  from cash buyers since the potential profit is larger dollar wise?

Congrats on your wise buys to date.

Thank you @Phil Morgan@Daryl Anderson@James Wise

Have a few properties here, the holton-wise neighborhood grading system helped incredibly. 

Refinance with local portfolio lender at balloon payment and pay back the seller the principal amount.Not sure if it is wise to be going 5 years interest only and building no equity in the property besides how much it appreciates and my down payment.

I don't know what kind of deal she will come back with ($ wise), but does anyone have any advice on profit sharing, how to structure the deal, whether both of us should have an LLC set up, how money is spent, etc? 

The nonprofit approach short term wise could get me in touch with people that could open doors.

Whether or not it's a wise move depends on factors far more important than capital gain taxes or your advisor's fees.You go to a local store and buy a large TV.

It's wise to seek properties that will have low-maintenance and low-turnover rates.

Much safer places to put my $$ investment wise, where I can still sleep at night
