With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.

We currently work with out of state investors and provide a full service approach which can be used by in state investors as well.When it comes to investing I'm currently in the process of closing on a partnered 4 Unit in Milwaukee WI.

Can try to reposition to Class B, but neighborhood may impede these efforts.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, but 15-20% should be used to also cover tenant nonpayment, eviction costs & damages.Tenant Pool: majority will have FICO scores of 560-620 (approaching 22% probability of default), many blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 2 years.

I think the safest approach would be offering the package at a certain price and excluding the alcohol.

As we approach 25K active listings on the market, we are starting to see a balancing of Seller and Buyer, and some soft corrections are underway. 

How do you usually approach unexpected repairs or big-ticket items?

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

As for Cash flow, I think it depends on the deal structure as you mentioned, but also strategy/approach (cash flow vs building asset, holding long term).

I would keep detailed records of my deals to include photos that I could use later when I am approaching a potential funding partner.
