This also leaves me with $3,750 stuck in the deal (not including financing and closing costs, which could easily add another $20,000).In total, if I had to include closing costs and financing costs, I’d have about $23,000 (if not more) tied up in the deal and lose close to $700/month before accounting for expenses.

I did a quick search and there are 187 total rental listings in Marion Oaks in the last 90 days. 90 are vacant listings, 18 canceled, 70 that have leased, and 4 pending. 

Keep in mind the PPSF is the total value, which is land and structure.

Totally agree.

**************************************************************************Insurance premiums of American homeowners rose last year, with rates increasing by more than 20 percent in six states, according to a recent report from S&P Global.In 2024, insurers raised rates by 10.4 percent as of Dec. 27, which followed a 12.7 percent hike in the previous year, according to the Jan. 21 report from the company.In total, 33 states saw premiums climb by double digits last year, with the largest spike seen in Nebraska at 22.7 percent.

@Jay Hinrichs totally agree!

However, I find myself uncertain about how to structure such deals and whether I could successfully secure them.I was wondering if you could offer any recommendations for educational resources that might help me better understand and navigate the intricacies of creative finance and seller finance deals.

Obviously, the most important focus is on those who experienced loss of life, need rescue, and experienced total loss; again, my heart goes out to those people.From an investment standpoint, hurricanes are obviously a real, calculated risk of the area. 

This would raise our mortgage by ~ $700/month, which is a lot, but still makes our total mortgage payment well below rental on a 4bd, 2 bath.So, my question for the great minds of BP is, is this a good idea?

Here is an example with some figures:My LLC total investment = $204,000Partner LLC total investment = $196,000Value of project when complete = $500,000Each LLC value afterwards = $255,000 / $249,000The plan was for me personally to go get the refinance loan because the terms are so much stronger than if I went portfolio with the LLC.Loan total = $300,000 (keeping at 60% or under of value for best terms from the bank)Partner LLC payout = $249,000My LLC payout = $51,000In this scenario, I am struggling to see how to get the remaining equity in the project into my personal name?
