@Bruce Woodruff Thank you, your suggestion sounds workable, and the addendum would be key.

You can literally buy your long term wealth so long as you have the down payment and closing costs, have a debt ratio that is workable to start with and have a decent credit score, usually a 660 or higher. 

So, this is workable but is less efficient (and likely more expensive) than having everything within one firm.That said, if your non-RE business does not have a lot of industry tax specifics, it's quite possible to find a small firm or even a one-person firm qualified to handle you entire tax situation.

Sounds like a workable plan! 

The average is that you need to talk to about 40 sellers before you will find a workable deal.

Getting estimates on a property I don't own in a time-frame short enough to allow me to buy it (will probably have a contract on it by the time the weekend is over) isn't very workable.

In particular, Oceanside seems to have some workable entry points.

It does take some training in my opinion to do well in subject tos and wraparound mortgages when buying.The "what if step" I use for subject to or wraparound mortgage offers is this,"Oh I see, so you don't want to do any kind of rental arrangement or lease purchase arrangement, I get it now… Well, I have one more idea, and if this idea works then we'll move forward, and if it's not workable for you then all just pack up and get out your hair…Mr and Mrs Smith, you want the property sold and you want somehow to be not responsible for a lot of the costs.

@Sean Hurwitz  formatting not transferring when posted...just send me a PM if you want this in a workable format.

IMO with multis (even just a duplex) the 50% doesn't hold (up to 60% on larger buildings is workable) , did you just toss in numbers for the insurance and property taxes or you've already seen what the current owners paying?
