Have an objective third-party determine value in its current condition.

The ones who haven't heard about it seem to not care much or are grateful to be informed of the "changes".We are getting less objections when presenting the exclusive agreement than we were prior to 8/17.

But, sustainable success in real estate is built on first of all a thorough knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law, and real estate finance.  

The $2,500 payment you proposed is the interest only portion of a 5% loan amortized for 30 years of $600,000 principle.

@Joseph Lawrence I am in North Dallas (I've lived in NYC), what is your investment objective in buying a new home?

I know most residential lenders won't lend to an LLC so my question is should I just house hack the way anyone else would, using my own personal financial status and name, my own funds for the downpayment, and put the multifamily entity and principles aside for now.

However, the outline below is fairly standard across most business plans.Executive Summary (Objective, mission, keys to success, etc.)Company Summary (Goals, operations, ownership & personnel experience, etc.)Market Analysis & Strategy (Approach for finding deals, investment strategy, etc.)Financial Plan (Startup costs, leverage, reserves, etc.)Exit Strategy (Timeline or milestones for exiting or refinancing investments)

When you run property management numbers - they get 'ugly' real fast.Lets say you buy a long term rental and it rents for $1,200/month, and if you financed it, it costs you $900/month for a fully loaded (Principle, interest, taxes, insurance) mortgage.

I just partnered on a owner financed property ($1,000 a month principle only for 10 years with a $60k balloon), and do flips with another partner whenever we can find the opportunity.
