Solid market, favorable rules for landlords.

I would like to operate as I wish, but have access to MLS and advice from my broker when need, have a favorable commission split with no office fees.

When you buy right(as you did) and have multiple exit options(as again, you did), things tend work out in your favor at the end don't the?

@Dean Klein Do yourself a huge favor and check three things:Rentometer to see what the median area rent is, buy bedroom count.Section 8 "fair market rents" which may, in point of fact, be above or below market for your area.Use the bigger pockets buy and hold calculator at biggerpockets.com/calc and run some conservative numbers.

I had talked with some boutique lenders such as B2R, La Quinta etc, and only coming out with high rates & less than favorable terms.  

But I've always favored buy and hold, so I'm biased.

The financial benefit has to be in the Solar Company's favor, just as leasing a car or apartment is in the dealer/landlord's favor in the long run.  

Not only could you possibly get your entire cash purchase price back (as shown on HUD-1) you even have the opportunity to roll closing costs into the loan if you the numbers work in your favor (you need a great deal to make all of this happen).

Creative financing is a curious termYou can be a real estate operator instead of an investor and make money with very little capitalWhen I present to the seller that has very little equity like 95% loan to value, they are stuck, and they need some helpIt is up to the real estate operator to show how song on charms will help preserve the little equity dollars instead of selling cash with an agentSubject to and wraps have their place when buying on terms if you buy on sub 2 and a note you can structure the note in such a way that is in your favor, such as a moratorium or interest-only payments etc.Sometimes you don't want to but you just want to get the cash flow and do a master lease or a master lease option in case of multifamilyYou going to need some money to have a real estate operations so think about recruiting some capital.

In our area, rents are rising much faster than inflation because investors are taking advantage of the supply-demand being in their favor and raising rents for that reason, not so much because of a rise in taxes, insurance and operating costs.
