In my market, there are plenty of deals I see on the MLS where I know it would take an above-list-price offer to get it.That said, my guess is that this agent is just trying to earn a commission and realizes that repeatedly putting in low offers for you is not a good business model for her.

That makes all work far more expensive, creates liability, and reduces future resale value.

In development cycles there is a under supply,sweet spot,and OVER supply.A certain asset class can be over built and it is often times a race to market on who wins.If your project takes to long to complete and the market gets saturated by that time then you will have to reduce your anticipated rent rates and cash flow projections to bring in new tenants or you will have to spend more on amenities to justify them paying a premium price.Either way it will cost you more money.

You either expose yourself to more liability by keeping more property in less LLCs or you cough up more dough and reduce your exposure in any one LLC.As for tax advantages... not sure what you're looking for, especially in rentals.

If your wholesaling the property, reduce the MAO for your profit.

Or I could not earn a dime and spend 100k for twenty years before I ran out.

.) - 50% down payment - 7% INTEREST ONLY - 5 year balloon payment - 3% loan fee plus closing costs - taxes & insurance are not escrowedRent ratios run 1.2% - 1.4%I am not a fan of the 7% interest only portion of the deal and at these costs, I believe I could actually purchase the property outright, earn the return over 5 years and be in a position to purchase another with cash.

I have attempted to get taxes reduced to no avail.

So, here's the rub: every dollar I spend above the minimum repairs had better either return more than dollar for dollar or reduce DOM.

I earn a dollar.
