If you figure those to your current situation and run the numbers for your projected strategy, pick the one that has a combination of the best returns and aligns with your goals and time horizons.

Eerily, these times remind me very much of the Carter years, uncontrolled spending and the certainty of inflation on the horizon.

For our business hurdle rates & time horizons we'd hold on to the property unless we had another deal sitting in front of us that could provide more or more stable returns & we could use the $57K to solidify the deal.

I am hoping to get some examples of "win-win" structures as options to offer to like-minded, buy and hold, long-term horizon investors. 

I see change on the horizon as the media outlets cover more and more stories of tenants who play the system.

Regardless of whether you use an ARM or balloon (extremely risky) to finance the investment, if the investment horizon is similar -- 20 years for instance as you mentioned, then you would (or can) estimate what you feel the average mortgage rate is going to be on the multifamily investment during that horizon.

This also poses risk for short-term mortgages or ARMs.If you're going to hold rentals, my suggestion would be to set a longer-term time horizon unless you feel like gambling...

I am under contract for a multifamily in the midwest, after the inspection was completed there are some concerns that are going to have to be addressed on the very soon horizon.

What is your planning time horizon?

This is going to help broaden my horizon.
