To make a really long story short, I have just completed a Short-Sale of a single-family home a business partner and I built in Horseshoe Bay, Texas, right outside of Austin, Texas.Our Operating Agreement states that we are to split 50%/50% of all expenses within the business and treat any unexpected monies due as loans and paid back equally amongst the partners.

So go to Zillow rentals and figure out what that rents for… in my area that’s around $1.15/sqft or around $1150/month.From there it’s a math equation… $1150 minus principle, interest, taxes, insurance and $100 maintenance reserve equals my expected cash flow.  

BP has been equally impactful.

They seem to have a good business model and one of the owners is an investor himself which is definitely a plus, but they charge a leasing fee (to find and get a qualified tenant into the property) equal to 1 month of rent, which comes out to an additional 4%-8% on top of the monthly 10% maintenance/management fee depending on how long the tenant stays.

To facilitate a 1031 exchange where you are deferring 100% of the gain, you would need to purchase a replacement property that is equal or greater in value to the total sale price, less closing expenses.

Isn’t this why we have 3 branches of government who have equal power to check the other?

It should be equal to what is paid at hotels and is seemingly in line with what I have seen across the country

A quick search says Oaklandrents average $2,680 so 36 months equals $96,480 behind with no ability to evict.

This would roughly equal to a trended assessment of $3.82m today or an estimated $45k annual property taxes currently.

Yes you can as long as your father will live in the home as his primary residence and you put enough down to cover your portion of the loan that VA will not guarantee.Here are the VA guidelines for calculating the down payment.VA calculates the guaranty as described in the table below.Step Action1 Divide the total loan amount by the number of borrowers.2 Multiply the result by the number of veteran-borrowers who will beusing entitlement on the loan.There is usually only one veteran borrower, in which case the resultof this Step is the same as the result of Step 1.3 Calculate the maximum potential guaranty on the portion of the loanarrived at in Step 2 (as if that portion was the total loan).Use the maximum guaranty table in section 4 of chapter 3 of thishandbook.4 VA will guarantee the lesser of:• the maximum potential guaranty amount arrived at in Step 3, or• the combined available entitlement of all veteran-borrowers.5 VA makes a charge to the veteran-borrower’s available entitlementin the amount of the guaranty.If more than one veteran is involved, VA divides the entitlementcharge equally between them if possible.
