I was sent an offering memo by a broker selling a multi-family building in an area no reasonable person would even consider affordable housing material yet the marketing materials made a point of emphasis to detail how the property would satisfy the need for affordable housing.

Since the original loan was apparently for a primary residence an LLC could never qualify because it isn't a person who would owner occupy the property. 2.

The tenant has two types of coverage: liability and personal property.

.- If you decide to have an LLC for each property, creating a Management LLC that all the other LLCs "hire" to run their books, will allow you to only require a bank accont for the Management LLC.2) You may not be able to do a Trust.

So your super basic P&L may look like: $30,000 Rents-$3,000 insurance expense -$9,000 interest-$3,000 taxes-$8,000 operating expenses-$14,000 depreciation ----------------$7,000 loss on paper for the year  so negative taxable income But remember- $14k of that (depreciation) was something we didn't actually spend money on- so cash in bank at year end would be $7,000. 

Nevertheless, Jeff told me he thought I had a shot with this bank, and that I should go down and meet with the president.

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried tp take over reverse mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.

People like to rent from a person not a 'brand', it's more personal.

I would build a relationship with the person before you decide to partner.

For in person connections try some local real estate meetup groups.
