Using too aggressive assumptions (high rents & rent growth, low rehab costs & expenses, etc) will demonstrate a great return on paper but will inevitably disappoint investors when the deal fails to meet expectations.

Yes, they could move out of the one unit, rent for a period of time (long enough to demonstrate that they did in fact intend to convert to and hold as rental property), and then sell and they would qualify for the 1031 Exchange on the entire property. 

@Tim Soto - Congratulations on your new acquisition.Clearly, you demonstrated a methodical approach to this purchase, in that you knew the neighborhood and its potential, stayed calm when another buyer attempted to purchase property and failed, remained firm with your purchase ceiling, had dual funding plans and your to do list was ready to take action as the ink dried upon purchase.Thanks for taking the time to outline a step by step methodical approach to REI, without injecting emotions in the transaction.Good luck with this purchase and your future acquisitions.

We've demonstrated the ability to buy houses that investors want to buy at the prices that we offer them out.  

It is already very difficult for me to find financing, as I do not have demonstrable income for the US.

It contains fantastic demonstration videos and documents and is updated online and the price is reasonable.

Knowledge comes first, you must demonstrate your knowledge and it dang sure isn't with goofy guru stuff on sandwich lease options or wholesaling or the BRRRR plan, but about conventional areas of the industry.  

In doing so, they demonstrate that their intent is to purchase all of the properties but when the property doesn't meet their criteria, instead of dropping the deal they assign it to other investors for a fee.

Hopefully since you've demonstrated yourself as someone concerned for them, they'll let you in to discuss that you have it under contract and what follows procedurally.The ugly is when you have tenants who have been paying the landlord even though the bank is now the owner, or when they've received some sort of eviction letter and outright refuse contact with you.  

This post demonstrates the impact of property taxes and insurance can have on return.So, what kind of properties in Las Vegas meet the above criteria?
