A home would have to have all cap ex items taken care of very recently for me to only account 5% for it. 

I don't care what the paper value of my properties are because I'm not selling.

You will need to perform at least basic underwriting based on the T-12 and rent roll.There is, however, a short cut to estimate the maximum debt service.

Hi Chris,Be careful that the entity structure you are setting up is consistent with the best tax strategy possible.

If it is a contract for deed be careful on the state as you are physically buying the property and have transfer taxes etc.Once it is boarded, there is a boarding fee of around $40 then you pay anywhere from $15-$35/month for performing notes (Depends on escrow and if it is a fixed or adjustable note).

Just be careful.
