If you have a fixed amount of cash you can use it in multiple ways to increase cash flow consider the following ways to invest 150K1) 150K in savings account yields about $1200 per year in interest assuming you find good accounts, in this scenario cash flow is $100 per month2) $150K used to buy a single property for cash.

Going in I can pretty much tell which option will be worst case scenario but I like to run multiple scenarios for my joint ventures

Let me know if you think you can help, and I would love to discuss options available.I'm planning to buy 3 more 4 family units this year, and will continue to buy multiple properties a year for many years to come.

If you have multiple other units and yoi want to see cash flow per unit you will have to break it down.

Or did you buy multiple with multiple loans at once and are currently paying those off?

We have a few portfolios of properties for sale, multiple states.Most of the properties are a part of some portfolio.We are trying to sell the entire portfolio, or individual ones.Hopefully someone has gone through the marketing process for a rental portfolio and can shed some light.For now, my plan is to do online marketing (adwords, facebook, bigger pockets).

Therefore, a partnership makes sense so that the entire 8-units and commercial space is run by one entity which splits the income and expenses appropriately.Since my wife doesn't want to engage in a direct business relationship with my brother, she would prefer for us to purchase the properties seperately; how would you suggest to organize this purchase so that both parties are satisfied?

Thats one of he benefits to syndicating and working woh other investors- easier to qualify for loans with multiple guarantors.

But we've had multiple banks lend to us at appraised value as soon as the property is rehabbed and rented.

Also, you can engage your lender early 45-60 days out to begin underwriting the loan from the 6 month requirement and arrange settlement to occur right around the 6 month mark.
