Even though WE are NOT originating a loan here; it would be the EX-Husband who would be "originating" the Loan (by taking back the Deed of Trust and Note) in order to SELL his 50% interest in the house, the TIE IN is with our BUYING or INVESTING in the purchase of the DOT and Note to generate CASH to him, and CASH OUT to Her is wherethis becomes a "Gray Area" of whether it violates any of the CFPB Consumer Financial Protection Bureaus requirements and could be re-characterized as a high cost LOAN IN DISGUISE ALTERNATIVE THINKING We are thinking a better way to go here IF the EX-Wife agrees; it to SELL the house NOW, pay off the EX- Husband and enter into a 3 year LEASEBACK with the buyer of the home. 
Robert Rixer Creative Ways to Boost NOI
23 August 2024 | 4 replies
@Robert Rixer, I don't know how creative these are, as many are common plays:Valet TrashFencing in first floor yardsProviding washer and dryers for added rentReserved, Covered parkingTech PackagesInternet and Cable contracts, with reimbursementsPayment Plan rents, with small service charge (i.e. bill 1/4 rent each week)Reserved Rental cabanas at poolPrivate pool party rental optionGolf Simulator in clubhouse - fee basedOn site, self serve car wash (quarter feeder style)Charged group fitness/personal training servicesGame room in clubhouse with monthly subscription for tenants (Xbox, Playstation, etc)Changing out high maintenance grass for astro turf or lower maintenance/lower water use shrubberyBut ultimately, I think a lot of NOI increases come from deep dive into understanding EVERY expense and finding ways to minimize them, and/or no outsource them.Train maintenance team on basic HVAC and appliance repairs (find way to get them licensed as needed)Buy paint sprayers for faster, easier turns versus having to hire a contract painter, and possibly repaint whole unit each timeStandardize all finishes, so you can buy in bulk, everything from hinges and door knobs to cabinets, paint colors, and light fixtures.Potentially get leasing people onto lower base salary with higher bonus potentialBulk/bundled insurance across portfolio (even better at scale is to self insure)Regularly test sprinkler systems for leaks.Non-NOI, but benefit to you: partner with insurance agency to get referral kickbacks from your tenant base for renter insurance.
