@Chris Seveney @Nathan Gesner The owners offered to cancel their lease and return their security deposit in full.

I do have a silent investor, but when it comes to securing funding, it often feels like I’m navigating it alone.

Avoid basing it on uncontrollable factors like taxes or insurance.

And you're getting tax benefits.So many of my first-time Colorado investors are afraid of looking stupid because they got a "bad deal."

could be just like a regular deal, but if you're up for pitching, presenting and educating a seller on the tax and other advantages of seller financing, you just might turn it into a seller finance deal.

My net number is rental income minus expenses(3 mortgages, paying power bill at all three houses, property tax, insurance, internet in two properties).

You may also need to provide additional documentation, such as proof of income and employment, and may need to have a co-signer who is a U.S. citizen or permanent resident.In terms of buying with an LLC, it can be a good option for some foreign buyers, as it can provide additional liability protection and potentially offer tax benefits.

Where to get the most recent and accurate data for things like:Unemployment dataPopulation growthJob diversity and top employers in the areaVacancy rates (eg huduser.org)Property taxes and jnsurance costsI saw bp pro and reventure and a bunch of other websites provide some of this data, but i wonder how accurate and recent it is.

Sometimes hard to find this happy medium in rate sheets, though.Another consideration would be taxes - points are typically treated as interest, so if your tax obligations are high this year vs being higher in the future, then this could also impact buying down now vs paying a little more in interest in future years. 

Additionally, high-income earners with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) over $250,000 (married filing jointly) may be subject to the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax (NIIT).For 2025, bonus depreciation is at 40%, so consider leveraging it for eligible property assets like appliances or fixtures to accelerate deductions.
