Everything seems to point to the MLS providing a structured market place for buyers and sellers to connect and engage in business.

Also, what type of structure/terms are you looking for during the refi at the 4-year mark if you plan to hold on to it for while?

Question for anyone who's used Amica to write policy's on more than one property.Our current setup, has unique policys on each SFH.I'm toying with moving to one main policy from Amica, with each SFH as a extended policy on it.Cost savings, is over $800 per property if I go the Amica route.However they only cover structure on these policy's.Here in Florida, having gone thru last year.

All you do is collect a check whether it's to pay off your debt and keep in your bank account..Some office buildings if it is occupied by one big tenant may have Absolute NNN where the tenant is responsible for tax insurance and maintenance as well as structure and roof membrane of building..I am not too familiar of Office Buildings in terms of force appreciation but Multi family apartments offer that strategy..Hope this helps Good luck

You could explore a partnership or JV structure - same end result but less costs.

With that being said, I will often encourage clients who expand their portfolio to have a Traditional LLC that they can use as an Operations LLC, or a "shell company."

It probably does not really "save" on taxes in a tax-deferred structure, but would allow you through the benefits of tax-deferral to mushroom that income to a larger amount over time. 

Can it be structured so that they receive benefits from appreciation, etc?

If that's an accurate quote and a structural engineer confirmed it was necessary, I would recommend you plugging it into the calculator as repair costs and see how big of an impact it has on your projections.

Hi all,For those investing in trust deeds or private lending in an LLC structure, do you place an insurance policy on the LLC?
