@Dolly La SalleI think, personally, it’s incredibly important to look at future assumptions and understand the risk/return.For historical data look to operating statements for specific properties.

Not lower.Seller financing rates tend to be higher than bank loans due to the risk involved.

If you're 100% confident on ARV and resale time, you can assume less risk, but still...putting cash into a property you don't own with the presumption it will sell at said amount in the near future is pretty crazy. 

I’d like to transfer them to an LLC however from what I understand if a property still carries a loan and title is transferred to an LLC the lender may exercise their right to require the loan be paid in full.

I’m a newbie and looking to get into the REI world, starting off by learning before I make my first purchase (either a rental or flip).I’ve only heard good things about the community and I am looking for education and tips, while limiting risks and avoiding huge financial pitfalls.Thanks in advance, and I am looking forward to this new adventure!

That's annoyingThe numbers look really good, which makes me think it's a high risk property.

However, I made the argument to listing agent that they should want to spend the money at the very least to simply drain the basement water out since it's still an asset that is slowly deteriorating and losing value every day that the water sits there and investors/buyers will not want to take a risk on a property with a question mark like that.

Is there a risk to the end buyer (C) when doing a double closing where they are using the end buyers (C) money to close on the A-B transaction?

This may be the only chance I have to jump into a 5 unit for the next 10 years.I currently have just SFH's and even though I've done a bit of reading on apartments I'm not even close to comfortable with figuring out what a building is worth, so I have that risk. 

As you probably already know, entity protection is not really a cut and dry standard, it's a cross reference between the value of the asset, the risk or liability the asset possesses.
