Hi I am based in Canada and looking to connect with others who are investing in real estate in the USA or Canada.

The rules and payment standards vary significantly from one area to another, so familiarizing yourself with the local housing authority's procedures is key.

I am unsure if I could purchase a property through an LLC/SL based in Spain and what would be the taxation using this system.

It all comes down to running the numbers based on today’s market, not past assumptions.

Is that an imputed cap rate that you use as a rule of thumb based on your expected operating expense margin?

Experiences will vary significantly based upon location.

Lenders usually determine whether properties are lendable based on the debt service coverage ratio. 

Currently a corporation owns a portfolio of properties and the investors are looking to dissolve the corporation and divide the assets amongst each other based on share value.

Since the rent roll was too low, she had to secure financing through a private lender that based the loan on market rent rather than the current rent.

we ran into this in FLA  a few years back when I had 4 starts and I exited that market.. permits  sub base all pretty tough for someone who is not there and already knows the systems hands down and has a devoted loyal sub base.. thats the key in my mind.
