There's a lot of crappy properties in Milwaukee and its important to know what would make a good solid rental versus what's just going to be a headache.

Also are you aware of any other potential commercial versus personal lending differences that can effect ROI such as higher interest rates etc. that will come into play through an LLC?

If I tied with them, I would have one chance to be picked versus the bank's thousands of chances. 

There has to be qualifying and a process that happens.The REFI risk is even more heavily a factor in NNN properties because the rent bumps tend to be 1 to 2% a year versus the multifamily at 3% annually.

Depends on the asset class you are talking about.With NNN you can find full length term money that runs with the primary lease and zero's out before the option period.Now you are not going to like the interest rate versus the cap rate spread you are buying at because almost no cash flow will be present in that situation.So if you are buying a 6.5 cap and 20 year term debt is in the 5's margins will be really small and get decent as rent increase kick in.

Hi Katie,You would need to analyze the area that you want to live in what the cost to build new is to construct along with acquisition costs per sq ft versus buying something existing.Example if rents are close to equal for new versus existing for a 2 bed unit then if you can buy existing for 60 sq ft and 10 ft improvements for 70 sq ft all in versus new construction at 120 sq ft then you can buy existing for less than replacement cost.  

Look at a range with 25% down and 10% reserves of the loan balance for a minimum.2 to 4 unit costs are cheaper for due diligence versus 5 units plus. 

We sell a decent percentage of our properties via seller finance (contract for deed) which offers a very healthy return, quick sale (easy marketing) and little/no risk versus that of a rental scenario.

I totally see your point about paying cash versus financing, but we are 60ish and it seems prudent to pay cash for the next house.  

That versus buying all cash.
