@Jason Weidmann admire your all-in approach!

I’ve been seeing some real opportunities coming to the Multi Family Market, but the best deals seem to be moving quietly, before they even hit the market.Curious—what’s your approach this time around?

A more viable approach could be a straight 75% cash-out refinance—but only if you’ve invested in a city with strong, sustained population growth.

We own our house in Seattle and are trying to determine the best strategy for our move - what approach would net us the most money over the next 1-3 years.

Germain Act and using a trust for subject-to approaches that may work for this kind of transfer, but I’m not sure it totally applies to my situation.The previous replies stated answers to your questions, but some of the answers may not have been clear. 1.

I know I could have a family member co-sign a mortgage with me but not sure the best way to approach that conversation and what incentives I’d be able to offer to make it worth while for them other then their “familial duties” haha. 

If the numbers make sense, the plan is to approach the seller and attempt to get a lower price for this "2-story" building which has vacancies, since that's what the owner is selling.

By systematizing these areas, you can shift from a reactive approach—where deals dictate your strategy—to a proactive model that generates high-quality acquisitions with reduced risk.2.

An approach that we use is to provide value to the homeowner - especially to distressed homeowners.   

Through my experience, I’ve cultivated a conservative approach that balances opportunity with risk management that I apply to every deal that crosses my desk.
