An extremely important component of seller financing is building their trust.  

However a typical A&D or A&C loan might have two loan components at closing (one for the acquisition and one for the rehab component).  

This property is what started the conversation in the first place, but my friend believes in 100% down.Ultimately I guess the fourplex does have a speculation component to it, and if the market upends itself it will bite me.

I know that 1 component of your score has to do with the requests / time, so it seems reasonable to assume that applying for 8 simultaneous mortgages would be a problem.

@Ronin Crimmons In response to your earlier questions about the "MANY" other expenses and what CapEx refers to: CapEx is short for "Capital Expenditures," which are the larger improvements you may need to make to the property, like a new roof, HVAC, replacing the water heater, appliances, components (garage doors, circuit breakers, etc.), structural issues, etc.

The most important thing you can bring is relationships with other components of a team-- contractors, property managers, lenders, and tax advisors.

This deduction is related to the loss on disposal of certain assets in your building such as replacing or removing existing components of the building.

One of the units I'm planning on switching to a STR when the lease is up at the end of the year.When it comes to cleaners (or anyone you would consider as part of your "team"), obviously being able to personally train or vet them in person is ideal... but when your team is out of state, I look to my property managers to be the most important component since they are the boots on the ground.

Don't despair as each component can be solved. 

I care a lot about the construction costs, the lifeline of the assets' major components (roof, hvac, elec, plum, foundation/structure etc.), and it's ability to cash flow over debt service (if any).
