My goal is to get started with a turnkey MTR or LTR, unless I can be convinced BRRR can work without being present to manage the rehab. 

I'm pretty annoyed i was lead to this software through bigger pockets. i assumed they vetted the software WELL before partnering and presenting it to their members. 

I can’t diagnose your issue from the pics (though it seems repointing needed) I can say that there are contractors in this area who will immediately jump to the $35k+ solutions when they see deferred maintenance on these types of foundations.

How much deferred maintenance is there?

While they typically have considerable deferred maintenance, we're getting great terms.

We were able to buy low in a good neighborhood since the home was in need of some work, mainly needing cosmetic work and some deferred maintenance.

The interior was outdated, the landscaping was overgrown, and several deferred maintenance issues were apparent.

My opinion only 2 cases make sense for the seller 1) they have few options and this presents the best means to get out if a bad situation.  

So thank you. well glad someone got something out of one of my presentations.. your not related to Larry Arth are you.. from Florida I think he is. ? 

However, transferring a mortgaged property to an LLC could trigger a due-on-sale clause, so consult your lender before doing so.While an LLC does not save taxes, it can make audits more straightforward and help present your rental as a business and you can combine all the hours from multiple STRS into one to meet the MP requirements.
