Well worth the cost as it would have affected the value of my home to about the tune of $50k.

I know its a thing just wondering if any of you mover and shaker big time property owners would do that.I was in Costa Rica a little while back and the price points there were quite a bit higher.. but of course its not forever to fly there either..Since the boss is a high producing real estate agent in her own right the last thing she is going to let me do is break her away from shopping and the pool to go look at real estate.. :)Anyone own anything over here....  ????  

With any senior aged tenants I contract out snow removal (and let them know that I’ll eat that cost as a courtesy).

It won't cost a lot and you can bill it to the tenant anyway because they should cover all landlord costs.

It is my view Costa Hawkins prohibits rent control on an ADU/JADU for 15 years.  

I’m told Virginia is a “buyer beware” state and the one attorney with whom I consulted indicated I do not have a cause of action to try to recoup damages.Once I get another remediation (there is now visible mold) and the floors replaced, this unpredicted episode may cost a fifth of what I’d originally budgeted for the entire reno (which never included these floors).

I am an American living in Costa Rica.

Originally posted by Matt Hunt:Yeah it's an LLC so I suppose I would just 1099 the investors and they would be responsible for themselves.If they are members of this LLC, then no you do not 1099 them, they get a K-1 from teh company. if they are only lenders and you are 100% owner of the LLC, then they are paid as a lender on a shared appreciation mortgage in which your LLC deducts that cost as operating expenses on that deal, thus their profit comes off the top and they are then 1099 for their proceeds.Also, you should answer the 3 questions from Don above, the answers will help guide you in your structure.

Hi Lindsey if you want a duplex its going to cost a lot more than 100K, give  50-75K from a single home (two separate homes double the cost).

One may have cost $50,000 to get done and the other may have cost a case of warm Natty Light.There are zero properties listed right now that would be cash flow positive if using the 2percent rule.
