My order goes like this.1: Front of House (unless there is an extra special feature. think a Plane Jane house with a chef kitchen or over-the-top pool and patio area)2-5: Highlights of the best features of the house.

Hi all - This is my first post, and I’m looking forward to getting some insight.

I plan to put two duplexes on the property but with this high appraisal is there a smarter thing to do to pull that money out of it or just use it for better collateral for the construction loan most banks will lend on the transfer price within a seasoning period. we face the same issues for land entitlement and development.

Thank everyone again I'm new to this site but it is an amazing sounding board and everyone gives such amazing feedback. 

All sarcasm aside, no, please stop, and don't do this.

None of them use this "1% ownership" arrangement.I seriously question what this attorney has told you. 

Will it immediately move to full transaction price, or does this jurisdiction use some sort of flat percentage increase.You should know how frequently the property will be reassessed thereafter.

Hi Folks - Thought I'd make this a sticky in the "New Member Introductions" Forum. 

My name is Vlad  and I’m excited to join this group as a rookie real estate investor.

Hey @Ana Mills, this ultimately depends on what your current portfolio looks like, your entity structure, and your plans to scale or not.If you have a few STRs and no plans to grow, it's beneficial to have separate bank accounts and credit cards for each property.If you plan to scale to 10+ properties and hold each property within it's own entity, maybe just a checking account per entity and keep some credit cards at the holding company level.
