The first thing you want to do is define your investment goals and criteria.  

I would first define a goal.  

I also hope you have a fair partnership agreement defining all the terms of your relationship and that you are not being taken advantage of, which I fear.So long as this lender is willing to provide relatively long-term money at favorable rates, you should buy the property in your name, or that of your entity, and your HML should provide the cash using a note secured by a mortgage.

Hi everyone, looking to begin in the buying and holding world in either single family units or duplexes.  I'm about 48 podcasts deep, here are a few questions I'm hoping someone can clarify for me.  If location matter...

Define safe.

Then define the highest and best use for the land with single or multi tenant.Work from the top submitting your site to large corporations for a fit as they tend to pay more than local mom and pop businesses and give more rents for great locations.   

Define "multi-family"??  

I don't see you railing against all the people that come up with crap rates by defining NOI as 50% of gross rents which is suspiciously pretty much a GRM (if ALL properties have the same expenses why do this extra step?) 

Or what other questions do I need to define to help me further my criteria?
