No, you don't need a business account, you can boost your listing using your personal account

Homes that initially list too high will not sell until after a series of price cuts finally attracts a buyer - and that will be at a price that's lower than if it were priced correctly at the start.The moral of the story is for Realtors and sellers to run comps - and not those garbage automated comps. 

This isn't a BRRRR - you have to boost the ARV more than that, especially if you're purchasing with financing.

I agree that this "accounting technique" is very distorting (and artificially boosts the return versus a sponsor that's isn't doing this).And most sponsors don't do this...but enough do that I always dig into the pro forma to look (and then take it into account when doing comparisons).

Check out your moral compass, your ethics in business.

Ok I was trying to see if co signing would help both of us, long term property would become mine and short term was looking for a boost in my score, I don't want to hurt her deal by being on it though.

Moral: it can be done, and while I can appreciate it takes more work, in my experiences owning rentals over the last 12 years, it is not significantly more work, especially when you are constantly underwhelmed with the outcome of a PM anyways.

@Willie Morales, then you'll def need a pro forma.... make sure you figure out the caprate in the area and the economical growth in the area.

You can also look into places that need higher maintenance if you need a boost to a particular year.

Hi David, being able to boost both cash flow and value by increasing NOI is really attractive for me for commercial MFH.
