With the SFRs you have very little in the way of tax avoidance, the same cash flow derived from a large multifamily would produce virtually no taxable income through cost segregation and other means.

Are you able to do a conventional loan using the delayed financing exception to avoid the interest jump? 

I was thinking of allocating the profit share in a way that was 50/50 but put the LPs at 19% to avoid this, but it I would feel weird being an LP in the structure.

Im looking into invest in a home but the sellers are still living in the property, is there any thing I should be concerned about or avoid because the houses I’ve worked with before where already vacant so it was a bit easier .

I recently read an article talking about a potential bad deal that was avoided.

Or put 20% down to avoid pmi and lower payments and find a roommate?

Or do you stick with hiring outside to avoid any drama in case the job is done poorly?

This is my first post at BP, but I have found the other resources and forum topics/responses to be exceptionally helpful and I'm hoping I can avoid some of the typical "newbie" mistakes. 

Good question, I usually assume 20% minimum to avoid being upside down. 

Another big aspect that will help you avoid vacancy would be to ensure you are renting your property at a reasonable rate, which you can determine by looking at what is renting or has been rented around your property!
