@Nataliya Maydaniv - I see you're fairly new to BiggerPockets... welcome!

I have chosen the Durham market (primarily for 2 reasons, I am tad bit familiar and also would like to own it as either a secondary home/rental property).The question that I have is, property taxes in Durham county are pretty high, roughly 1.3%, but I have been told by a property manager that the assessed value always comes up lower than the actual fair market price or the sale price (on a new home), and it's more in the tune of 1%.

Very fair pricing and does a great job.

They are fairly common once you have built up enough equity.One tax issue that you may want to be aware of (if the commercial property is in an entity like an LLC) is the debt-financed distribution rules. 

This way you grab another door fairly quickly and do not have to share in the profits with family - yourself n your brother can invest individually and earn 2 x what you would by investing with each other. 2.)

lets say in this market your actual cash on cash with quality assets is about 5 to 7% return I think that's pretty fair in todays market on 100k rentals.. so lets say 7%  of 25k.. give you 1700 a year in cash flow net.now lets say you bought a quality performing note secured on the exact same collateral.. only instead of investing 100% of value your the bank at 65%  so you loan 65k  your spent 75k on your down payments to generate 3X 1700 a year.and your performing NOTE on the exact same assets  at 65k is making 9%  which is quite doable.. so roughly 5900 a year in come on your note.. and you have ZERO cost to your note.. its just pays every month.. into your account.. so take your 5900  and 3X 1700 5100  that's 11k a year .. pay down one 75k note you will pay this off in about 7 years .your note at 65% LTV being interest only is still worth 65k.. its just a cash flow machine.. and now your free and clear asset just dropped a 500 a month payment ( just spit balling.. ) now you have another 16k a year to pay down your next note which has been paid down to say 65k with normal payments so in 5 years that's paid for then you do the next one and its paid for in 4 year lets say.. so in about 16 years you now have 3 paid for houses and your 65k note as its still an interest only note.. and its all equity.you income on those three homes and your note.. brings you up to about 3k a month or so.. and its all paid for. not a bad use of 150k to start with.. and pretty manageable for home.Or you could just buy 3 notes to start with making 14k a year in income and save it for 5 to 6 years and pay cash for homes going forward.. few ways to work it.. 

We'll cut to the chase, here's our dirt.The Facts: Ages 51/44, Married, w/10 yr. old childOne steady income 45KOne low income & fluctuating (self employed only 2 years but growing slowly)Living/ renting in NJ (Very expensive market, 2 family units sell over 500K)Fair amount of debt 37K (Car loan, 2 CC, Medical bills)Just getting by each monthCombined 401K's =  150KMy 401 (100K) can be transferred with no penalty to a self directed IRA (I had opened up last year in hopes of using some cash to invest in RE) We are determined to get into REI however we're probably going to need some creative ways to do it with our current situation.

I have this awesome deal well I think, but I want to make sure the numbers are right.  Could I get some opinions.   Here is the link.

let it stay as a WRONGLY APPLIED "primary home owner policy" for now with insurance company with the risk that the 'proofs' that the ins company will demand may not be successfully met.if insurance finds out its not a primary and then cancel policy - then they tell lender and lender creates issuesGet the current wrong policy changed to "seasonal home policy now" and DO NOT change it later and while renting out the place - ensure that renters have the renters insurance policy.So far inclined towards #3
