@Jordan StenholmI just read a  book by Ken Honda Called Happy Money, and I interviewed him.

I’m trying to find out how much money can I pull out from the 8 unit which is now valued at 1.7 million.

Im actually out of state military investor but would still love to connect and see how the Pittsfield Portfolio goes.

.- lower turnover- easier on the units when they do move- quiet and less disturbance than traditional, younger- for fixed income, consider partnering with the local housing authority for SEct 8 vouchers, then raise rents accordingly - guaranteed money & the Sr. only pays a portion (if they qualify)Traditional renters- Higher turnover- Higher turn costs- More volatile - higher bad debt- More drug related activities- Adding in children that are hard on units- Higher eviction rates and legal costsConsider all angles before making a decision with the changes. 

This method helped me connect with other investors who were looking for different ways to spend their money and were interested in passive income.Being a thought leader gave me a stage that made me look like an expert in investing in real estate.

This is irrelevant...many, many many many people create new profiles just to complain about something or someone, so the length of the profile has been active has zero to do with the actual complaint.in addition, many people create aliases just to avoid retaliation.why do I even have to explain this to you?

For investment properties you should be using private/hard money lenders, but if it's a primary or you have a long window of time to secure the financing then traditional may be the way.Overall, it should be easier to get approved via creative financing though as there are options and workarounds for nearly every scenario (they just may cost more the more creative you need to get).

This can be especially useful during the first years of purchasing, remodeling, or constructing a property when budgets are tight and having money on hand can be beneficial.

(Offer)-(What I Owe)=X*(0.85)=ACTUAL TAKEHOME $$I am asking about the 85% I have written in equation.

The 4 properties will always make more money than the 1 (all things being equal).
