While they are the obvious ones, they are much less impactful to building a solid partnership.

The market is ALWAYS changing but I know at this time, seasoned investors are getting 80% LTV on DSCR in the 6% range and 90% of PP/100% of renovation if total loan does not exceed 75% of ARV for FixNFlip loans. =)  

They said it’s way too small for the price. (3,192 square foot total) 2,200 on the main floor alone.

My duplex - built 1989, 2,060 sf, 2 bed/bath, 1 year old roof, value if I subdivide (county already approved) and sell each separately $150k each ($300k total)Investor duplex - built 1995, 2,300 sf, 2 bed/bath, 5 year old roof, value around $310kThe investors initial request was for an equal trade and they would pay realtor fees, which I replied wouldn't be equal due to buying/selling costs (recording fees, title insurance, closing fee, survey, inspections, loan fees, 1031 fees, accountant fees, repairs), taxes would increase due to new sale price, I'd trade a 3.75% mortgage for a higher one, and I'm on the 10th year of a 30 year loan so resetting that to a new loan would restart amortization and pay more towards interest.

I am actually open to hear about other areas in the states, but the general direction is Jacksonville at the moment.I totally agree about the partnership part.That is why I am working with one :) Are you thinking of buying in Jacksonville as well?

I just did the math and it was obviously better than stock account retirement.

Unfortunately, it's now going to get more complicated:(There are two types of approaches PMCs use to bill for maintenance:1) In-house ServiceTechs on the payroll, so owners are billed for their time by the hour.While the labor charges above are useful, they don't cover the true costs a PMC incurs, like:- Payroll costs for FICA, Social Security, Medicare, etc. that typically add 25-40% to the hourly rate- Medical insurance costs for the worker- Payroll processing costs to handle all of the above- Liability insurance costs in case worker damages something or injures someone- Workman's Compensation insurance- Costs of vehicles and tools- and more...Typically the management contract will disclose the total hourly rate an owner will be charged.

Thanks for sharing, the POA to access the original docs is a great idea, and I'm totally stealing it for the future. 

Of course, I totally understand that you wouldn't want to do if that guide is written by another real estate agency, in which case you have option 2.b.

Our biggest problem is getting her out so we can do a proper rehab 60 days of dead dime waiting for her to vacate is not Ideal obviously.
