Purchase price: $925,000 Cash invested: $75,000 Sale price: $1,190,000 Bought and styled and managed a luxury Airbnb in Scottsdale.

We’re working in a smaller market like Cornelia, GA, where comparable sales data can be limited, and want to make sure we present a strong case to lenders.

Purchase price: $100,000 Cash invested: $35,000 Sale price: $270,000 Hey BiggerPockets Community,I recently updated a multi-family property on a tight budget and significantly increased its value.

For seller financing deals, I show sellers the interest earned over the life of the loan and total proceeds from the sale. 

Tax-wise, only the rented portion is deductible, and depreciation recapture applies on sale, increasing taxable gains.

Because the chances of successfully concluding a wholesale transaction when you lack experience, knowledge and capital are so infinitesimally small that you’d be better off playing the lottery.  

Great tools out there to evaluate the density of rentals, houses sold/for sale like Zillow and Redfin can give you a great perspective on these and help guide your decisions!

Where comps come in to to compare "cap Rates"  (a measure of financial performance) of recent sales. 

Hey @Scott Trench unfortunately real estate losses (active or passive) will not offset portfolio income from stock sale gains. 

For the residential side, check nearby apartment rents and recent sales of similar mixed-use buildings to get a sense of value.
