I too have decided to create a separate traditional Texas LLC to manage the assets held by the cells in the series LLC.

Yes doing it now where we could not agree on Purchase price where they are getting traditional financing so we included a small 2nd on the back end that is interest only with a 5 year balloon.

Traditional mortgage lending How did you add value to the deal?

Our interest rate is 2.75% so I don't really ever want to refinance or sell.I work full time and have a traditional 401(k).

When it comes to resale and financing though it may be trickier since some lenders prefer properties that have their own separate parcels and a traditional buyer may see it as a downside when you go to sell. 

If you're looking for cashflow, you may have to consider 3+ unit properties, as traditional 2 families don't seem to fit the bill anymore.Happy to connect and chat a bit more about your goals.

IT is a hard question, do i buy in my real expensive market, or do i rent here and invest in a better market (and by "better" i mean better for traditional investing)I would say this: The traditional idea that I am "missing out" if I don't own a primary residence in my chosen market to live in, is not necessarily a true notion.I know a guy, a friend of mine who actually told me about BP back in the day.

With seller financing, the seller acts as the lender, letting you avoid traditional bank financing.

Seller financing at way lower interest than traditional lender rate.

Having said that our properties have traditional mortgages out in my wife and my name with our socials.
