The numbers always look good on paper.Then you analyze and find out the numbers are off.Now what is left is finance options with the real numbers and if the seller is realistic or not.A four plex has it's own issues.Buying a larger complex can be okay for your first one if you purchase correctly.If purchased wrongly it can take down your other positive investments just to keep it afloat.5 units up to about 20 units someone can self manage but it gets really hard.Larger size properties it's easier to have a full time PM company in place where that's all they do.If you are buying in a less desirable part of town for more cash flow usually the more intense management and unit turnover rate will eat into the perceived extra cash flow gains.Nicer areas with better demographics will have more lenders lining up to give you great loan terms over suspect areas which present more risk of the area going really bad for the lender.If an area tilts from okay to bad now the lender is taking on a foreclosure for a huge loss on the loan.

I would just owner finance the house with a note and deed , but I may have to do a quit title on the place to clear up tilte issue.

Also, if I'm buying NPN's I'm probably buying the note at say 60-65% of BPO, which is probably less than 30-40% of UPB.Example: FMV 100k UPB 200k Purchase at 65kIn this example, I will have a judgment for around 200, which would be my maximum I could collect, so cashing out for more than I'm into it for is not an issue (unless of course the world temporarily tilted on it's axis, and the property sells for 220k).

You’ll pay more for the advice, until you get your feet wet, but it will help tilt the deck in your favor.

You picked a hot button topic and gave it a provocative tilte.

Sorry, but I think you're tilting at windmills.

I did this and ended up tilting the footing over from the pressure of the jack.

You need an investment analyst, at a managerial level, not just a stock broker, a CPA and a securities attorney, IMO.Lastly, I can tell you from experience that investors absolutely will not show everything to a broker, they may show enough to "qualify" and seeing interest income on a tax return doesn't specify the source, some investor could have other loans held or REITs that could tilt the scales in areas of concentrations of assets that a broker may never pick up, so if you hink you can, you can't.

For years banks have relentlessly worked through their Washington influence and lobbyists to create this 'tilted playing field' allowing their SRP/ Overage profit to be hidden from the consumers.

Because both sashes operate, they are usually designed so that they tilt in for ease of cleaning.
