My husband was paying our bookkeeper $450/month to do our books (for a small number of properties!!)

We value a long term win-win relationship, well- priced, well-maintained homes to ensure solid tenants as well as respect for our finances and investment, so the PM has to be of the same mindset and ability to perform.This has been by no means passive because things come up that have to be addressed, and a lot has to be organized, optimized and tracked.

It provides strong protection against lost rental income and tenant-related risks, which can be a game-changer for landlords.At Marketplace Homes, we offer Steady as part of our property management services, making it easy for owners to ensure their investment is protected while we handle the day-to-day operations.

Our primary goal is to retain as much equity in our properties as possible while leveraging outside capital to scale faster.Proposed Investment Structure:Investors contribute 30% of the purchase price and 30% of furnishing/rehab costs.Our LLC secures a new purchase loan in its name only, taking on 100% of the debt.This structure allows us to maintain 70% ownership of the property.Properties will be actively managed to maximize returns, likely achieving higher upside than long-term rentals.Proposed Compensation for Investors:6% preferred return annually.After the preferred return is met, profits are split 75/25 (with investors receiving 75% of profits on their portion of ownership).Profit Calculation:Revenue – Operating ExpensesExcludes mortgage principal & interest, as our LLC assumes full responsibility for the loan.Looking for Feedback:Is this structure fair and attractive to investors while ensuring long-term alignment?

In order to determine if your property is eligible and ensure your assets are assigned to their respective recovery periods, a cost segregation study is needed.A cost segregation study is a strategic tax planning tool that separates the assets that have a shorter useful life and can be depreciated over 5, 7 and 15 years from the residential rental property or nonresidential real property that are depreciated over 27.5 and 39 years, respectively.
