The chart was helpful to see how commercial properties out perform other investments.

Payment size is more important than points.

(Obviously if you do have more experience and are confident you can get in and out quickly on a medium size rehab then that's great.)And you'll always do better and be able to pay a little more if you're buying as a value-add long-term hold than a short-term flip.

At that size you'll probably be dealing with mom & pops who have owned the properties for a long time and haven't kept rents up to market.

Hi folks, is anyone able to advise me on what account in my chart of accounts to assign the cash that I received from a Cash out refinance on a rental property?

I'm sure it varies depending on the deal size and the firm. 

Hey Landlords, I am working on a Focus Project for a Masters level Project Management class, and my imaginary organization is a company that is going to be buying, renovating, and renting out single-family homes and multi-family complexes.What I'm trying to do is an Industry Analysis to build a pie chart showing the market share of rentals (both single-family and multi-family) between:a.

That said, if a property were of sufficient size (i.e. a 100 unit apartment complex or shopping mall) then it might well make sense to incorporate a company for the asset.Another motivation to keep properties in your name is taxation.  

You should at least learn base fundamentals of income statement, cash flow analysis, due diligence, forming a team,  opening a business account, structuring an entity, real basic stuffI didn't even mention any commercial real estate fundamentals yet..But instead jump into commercial underwriting, figuring out market cap rates that are not black and white, hiring and managing full time employees, understanding lot sizes, values, calculating NOI, cap ex Reserves, Make sure your holding someone's hand.. 

A fair rental price in my market is $1200-$1300/month, however, homes of similar size in my market are typically not renovated (mines is).
