While I am there I will be meeting with agents, lenders, viewing properties, and being closer to my rental properties once I purchase them to do the check-in, walk-throughs, maintenance, etc.The other question I run into is what business to put these expenses under.

They typically involve two agreements: a lease agreement that outlines the terms of the lease (rent, responsibilities, etc.) and an option agreement that grants the tenant the right (but not the obligation) to purchase the property within a specified period at a predetermined price.Negotiation Power: Lease options can be attractive to tenants who may want to secure a property for their business while potentially benefiting from any appreciation in property value.

I’m looking tot purchase my first home this year and I have been looking at properties that just need some TLC to be move in ready.

I am using a Heloc to fund my real-estate purchases and also to cover the rehab cost. 1.

I also was thinking of purchasing the home and converting it to a group home.

The property was purchased seven years ago for 56k in a C- neighborhood, which is now paid off and worth approximately 170k. 

However, if you are purchasing the property subject to the loan, which is an FHA loan used for primary residency, I don't see a title company working with that unless the loan is paid off prior to any improvments made to the property.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of these two types of markets and the factors that contribute to each:Cash Flow Market, a cash flow market is one where rental income exceeds the expenses of owning the property (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, and property management), resulting in positive monthly cash flow for the investor.Key Characteristics:High Rental Yields: Properties typically have high rental yields compared to their purchase prices.Stable or Slow Appreciation: Property values increase slowly over time, if at all.Lower Property Prices: Generally, property prices are lower, making it easier to achieve positive cash flow.Higher Rental Demand: Strong demand for rentals due to economic factors, demographics, or local employment conditions.Factors Contributing to Cash Flow Markets:Economic Stability: Stable job markets and steady local economies that support rental demand.Rental Market: High percentage of renters compared to homeowners.Affordability: Affordable property prices relative to rental income.Local Policies: Landlord-friendly laws and regulations.Appreciation Market, an appreciation market is one where property values increase significantly over time, offering substantial capital gains upon sale, but rental yields may be lower, resulting in lower monthly cash flow.Key Characteristics:High Property Value Growth: Significant annual increases in property values.Lower Rental Yields: Rental income may not cover the monthly expenses, leading to lower or even negative cash flow.Higher Property Prices: Generally higher property prices, which can make it harder to achieve positive cash flow.Strong Economic Growth: Rapid economic growth, population influx, and development.Factors Contributing to Appreciation Markets:Economic Boom: Strong local economy with job growth and high-paying industries.Population Growth: Influx of people moving to the area, increasing demand for housing.Infrastructure Development: Significant investments in infrastructure, amenities, and services.Desirability: High quality of life, good schools, and attractive neighborhoods.I hope this information finds you well. 

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I purchased a SFH in Cleveland, Ohio and I’m having trouble renting it out.
