Yes, there is a ton of data out there clearly saying Realtors get more, and honestly it shouldn't be a surprise because we simply have more resources, more experience with those resources, more connections, huge network day 1 and on and on.

But not sure if I'm overlooking anything else that would cause increased scrutiny.Also, to clarify, my overall goal with the property is simply long-term wealth building through mortgage pay down and appreciation so I'm not targeting properties with very high cash flow thus the focus on tax writeoffs.

Determine which units need work done to get them up to market rent, which tenants may be a future problem, and which units you can simply increase rents without major upgrades.Depending on where you are located, the size of the unit, etc. you may be able to get up to $1,800/month in Bridgeport for a 2-bedroom.

It’s simply not the case. 

The tradeoff on the joint financing is going to be the (refi) costs associated w any transfer of ownership, HOWEVER transferring title to the LLC is unlikely to trigger due on sale (b/c it sounds like most banks simply aren't monitoring and/or enforcing due on sale in these instances) which would make the ownership (sans the actual mortgage note) more easily transferable than exiting your position as an individual owner?

If not, simply give them notice that as of April 1 you are not renewing their lease.

For now I simply wanted to share some data as we head into what could be a very active second half of 2024.This is a great time to buy an oceanfront condo. 

Are they simply putting your ideas on paper?  

Simply can't.Everyone thinks that a circumstance (like being in foreclosure, tx liens, or .. ahum... distressed property) implies motivation.

I’d much rather create that reality than simply cutting down our costs and deleting all of our passive income.
