Your multifamily model might have a low to stagnant growth rate with much greater replacement reserves to account for roof and HVAC replacement.One of the great parts about commercial investing is the predictability of income.

Hello BP family,I am looking for recommendations on best low cost providers/custodians for Self-Directed IRA or Solo 401k or Checkbook IRA.

The entry cost is very low.

Has anyone had success  constructing a 4 unit with a low down payment loan?

I think your closing cost are way too low, probably be aroud $6k, and are repairs accurate? 

I also have ideas of building a town home or rental community but there is a lot of work needed with talking to the city, environmental study, financing, low income vs not, etc. 

With that being said, I want to give him an offer that wouldn't be too low because time isn't necessarily of an essence to him, but if i can give him a price that can compete with the leverage of having a cash offer.

Someone who is 60 and is married for 40 years, but still doesn't have a car and has to rent a low-rent unit, AND share a unit with other people (and they were the ones who got evicted, so the story goes) probably doesn't have a very good set of skills when it comes to managing money (or life, for that matter).

When i call back later, when im available, i always apologize and say i was doing a walk through or looking at another property lol @Nzinga Augustoi personally wouldnt do #1 or #2 for a couple reasons, Lets say you get a call at 830 Am and the VA sends you the info......you cant call until after 5 anyway.......same thing your voicemail would do...........also, i would keep your costs low until youre getting consistent deals.......just my opinion. 

Which is better if you want to use the low down payment method potentially repeatedly?
