I currently broker LIHTC multi-family for a large firm coast to coast and am also interested in MF in the Arizona submarkets as well, and will eventually invest on that scale - I just figure breaking into the state through SFH flips may be a more risk adverse way to understand the pros and cons to phoenix submarkets.

Good pet owners certainly understand this.

I am strongly considering Philadelphia as a market to invest in OOS because I was raised in Jersey and I used to be familiar with neighborhoods in the city; I understand things have changed over time, however.

Seller wants $160,000 cash out which leaves $50,000 in equity for the buyer.I had a taker from CA but he couldn't come up with the cash.I was not aware of anyone that understands that kind of deal.  

And your net worth will thank you.If you still want to go ahead, you'd be better off buying a house than an apartment because, while the value of the building itself will go to 0, you'll still have the value of the land, bearing in mind that the land might actually lose value too given the depopulation and the yen depreciation.Sorry if I'm pooping a party but make sure you understand what you're getting into (which you're already doing by asking the forum) and then make the decision that's right for you according to your objectives.

I have a referral I can send you, I recommend going with an individual with experience in co living rather than a traditional company who doesn't really understand the model.

Most importantly, understand the difference between a business purpose and consumer purpose loan.Read my post in this thread, which details our process in actionable terms.

You'll never get your best deal until you understand what the other side is dealing with. 

I understand that a fideicomiso is needed if we are wanting to own a property by a beach (which we would).

I have no idea who I should reach out to for help, and I just do not understand how this person no longer responds to emails or returns phone calls.I hope someone can provide some guidance.
