I'm not a fan of using percentages because you can have the exact same home built in 2 different parts of town collecting wildly different rents, yet having nearly the same maintenance...   

So even if the house is worth more than the strike price, the house's debt capacity can/should only be a percentage based on the strike price - and the reverse is not true. 

I would also try to go towards a percentage vs. fixed amount if you are looking at 6 month leases.

We've been looking at things in the area but haven't found suitable properties -- cap rates have fallen a full percentage in the Portland area over the last year so it's hard to make a buck.

You want to find a bank that is willing to add a percentage of the expected rental income of the duplex to your income.  

This LLC would have two members (i.e. each IRA account) where the ownership percentages would be in proportion to the amount of funds invested.

I won't tell you exactly how I do that because it's something of the "secret sauce" in my business model.A percentage of the leads I find will get listed at something close to an ARV within 3 - 6 months after the probate case is opened.

Ricardo Lunk if you live in a property, you can finance properties with a lower percentage down and lower interest rate.

Hi Marian,How do you use the moisture meter and what percentage is safe to button back up?

The loan all in my name, “I think” using my credit, all my resources for the Leander to see, “$14,000” etc.The part that bring me into question, is how do I decide who owns what percentage of the property..I’ve decided to not call it a percentage of the business, because I’m not sure how that’s going to work moving forward, for the next property and so on..But for this initial property..
