@Andrew Grimmett If a seller is hesitant due to capital gains taxes, consider creative solutions: suggest an installment sale (seller financing) to spread tax liability over time, a 1031 exchange to defer taxes by reinvesting in another property, or a structured sale for flexible deferred payments.

If you want the "best" rate, be prepared to pay for it.

That's why many businesses just close instead of being sold.Real estate investing provides a lot more creative angles than the stock market, but on a conceptual level, nobody would seriously attempt to replace their W2 income in a few years by investing a few thousand dollars in the stock market.

Investment Info:

Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $330,000

I bought this property 100% seller financed. It is two mobile home parks consisting of about 24 units.

I’m particularly interested in strategies for scaling in the multi-family space, creative financing options, and building strong partnerships.If you’ve worked on similar deals or have insights into the best ways to grow in this industry, I’d love to hear from you.

Assume a mortgage or figure out another creative strategy? 

This will allow you separate business income and expenses from personal income and expenses.Since you plan to house hack your bookkeeping and tax return preparation will be more complicated because a percentage of your home expenses will be personal deductions and some will be business deductions.

I even have a creative deal signed if I don't flip the contract.The purchase would be 300 + closing costs. assignment would be 15.

The rate cap in January is currently priced at $747,000.The Capital Call funds will be used in the following ways:1) $4mil is being used to pay down the loan.2) $175k fee to extend the loan for 1-year.3) $2.247mil to cover interest rate cap extensions for the remainder of the hold period, including $747k for the January 2025 6-month interest rate cap purchase.4) $1,000,000 in reserves to prepare for additional extension fees and cash reserves.

The one I am speaking with currently has not offered up any sort of contract so I am taking the lead on preparing something.
