I learned this lesson the hard way when I bought my first investment property off market.You need tenants who stay for many years, pay rent on schedule, and take good care of the property.

I've joined a few facebook groups and have two events scheduled in the next week.

Just be aware that this adds another layer of complexity, and you’ll want to check with both your lender and a real estate attorney to make sure everything is set up correctly.When it comes to terms, owner financing gives you a lot of flexibility:Interest rate: You want something attractive to the buyer but that compensates you for the risk of holding that second lien.Repayment schedule: You can choose a traditional 15- or 30-year schedule, or go with something shorter if you want to be paid off sooner.Balloon payment: Many owner-financed deals include a balloon payment, meaning the buyer pays off the remaining balance after a set period (usually 5-10 years).

I schedule 2 open houses per week and ANYONE can come.

@Pat McQuillan have you reviewed IRS form Schedule E?

Hi Anne, I'm actually in the process of underwriting an SLH DSCR loan currently, and it is scheduled to close within the next two weeks. 

Project size and asset class can greatly impact lease up schedule.

Thanks There's a set section 8 rental schedule in DC.

I don't understand why my taxes go up a few bucks when I change move an item (a kitchen appliance) from bonus depreciation to an expense on schedule E.

While this approach works in the early stages, there comes a time when consolidating all your properties' insurance into a single, scheduled program might be more beneficial.
