When there's a new property they take the tax assessor percentage of building/land value and use that to obtain the building value based on our acquisition price.

I have goals of obtaining enough MF property to replace my current career by the age of 50 (I'm actually shooting for $6K/m by November of 2026 because, why not?)

We also have a pretty good relationship with all the neighbors which I'm sure helps.The reason for me not getting a permit once obtaining this property is very simple -- I was given this house from my father, and the town that I'm located in, you're not able to get a rental permit unless the house is owner-occupied.

I recently purchased a property and obtained a 30 year mortgage with an interest rate of 3.75%.

Thank youCREATING a note from the sale of rental property can be beneficial IF either of these two possibilities exist(1) you are able to obtain a significantly higher price on sale of the property by offering a seller financed note WITHOUT an undo increase in default risk(2) you are able to “wrap” an existing mortgage note bearing a low rate of interest with a seller financed note bearing a higher rate of interest. 

When I approach these I start with looking at what it would cost one, the current fair market value, to obtain such a property.
