Hopefully kept good records of improvements / anything to increase the basis2.

I manage my own properties as do my clients; with the electronic resources for screening, rent collection, more - the ROI is greatly improved and you retain control of the property.Hope this helps.

If we rent to own, they are OK, but we cant refinance because we don't have the deed.Are there any unique scenarios to help us get the property for little money out of pocket, we have the ability to have the deedSign a lease agreement with a purchase option that allows you to buy the property at an agreed price at the end of the lease term, consider establishing a partnership with the seller to jointly invest in property repairs and improvements.

Only about $3k was spent to make upgrades and improvements to the property.

Search youtube, "Multifamily owner and baby boomer sells 18 units and uses a deferred sales trust instead of 1031" to here more details.

Owner needs cash for some improvements, but if he refis interest rate is 11%.  

Our average construction time is about 8 months after permit is issued and we are always improving.
