I would not try to involve an agent on a %-age basis as that is explicitly against what the seller wants and they may not even deal with you if you do.

Ah, good point on the arms length idea.

My current renter has lived in the unit for 4 years and would like to purchase, but wanted to wait till 2015.My problem is the ARM (3% interest-only) that I stupidly bought into is going to add an additional $300 mths (addition of principal after interest-only period ends) come July 2014 .

It doesn't explicitly say anything about applicants, but I've been very careful about what I collect as Massachusetts is very tenant friendly.

Your best advice I believe and I would agree is to always consult an attorney when you are assessing your risk.You almost sound like an insurance agent, LOLThe only part I agree with that you mentioned is to see your attorney and that values may be different in different jurisdictions.I'd say the only ones on this site that can evaluate similar cases would be attorneys, certainly no layperson can make such an evaluation.When I had my insurance brokerage I also did finance work and estate planning with an attorney (who later became a judge) I did valuations for him for loss of work, loss of an eye, arm, leg which are pretty well statistically set, not wild determinations.As I said, costs of defense are insured, the attorney gets paid.If you are exposed to 50M in losses, insure for 60M.If you are under insured, you have a loss and your assets, like you said could be liquidated, but not all your assets, some assets are protected in BK.

I am arming myself with the best knowledge while simultaneously integrating myself with an amazing team.

The condo I live in was bought using 5/1 ARM back in 2005.

Speak to a good tax accountant your PM company charging you property owing LLC are not at "arm's length", you have a sham transaction cooking.I had to skip through to the question so might have missed something, but if you own both there's no benefit and you loss only goes to the income earned and carrying forward a bogus loss can cause issues.

At this point I'm looking less at technicals than I am arms length transactions, opinions and appraisals from independent, licensed sources with no financial attachment to the project, the Sponsors or portal.

There is no such thing as rolling over your existing real estate business into Solo 401k or using Solo 401k to invest in your existing business.All transactions of the 401k must be 'Arm's length' to you personally or to your business.
