What are standard terms and conditions when raising capital from investors for a real estate investment?  - Who carries the personal guarantee on the debt?- What is the standard GP / LP split?- Are deals that are fina...

Most investors believe there’s one market value for a property, and it’s usually closely related to appraised value.

I am new to Real Estate Investment, venturing into commercial real estate space (multi-family rental properties) and willing to expand my network to build a team across the different states for potential opportunities. 

We had a couple properties that the appraisal come back lower than we thought so that killed the refinance.

As far as closing costs go, see below:-Title fees-Title insurance-Hazard Insurance-Lender's closing fee, underwriting fee, or any other flat fee they charge-Origination fee-Attorney fee (if the property is in an attorney state)-Doc fee for closing docs-Prepaid interest through the end of the month you are closing-Recording and transfer fees on titleThat will cover most of your normal closing fees. 

But, a non-favorable catch is the requirement that Hometap becomes your financial power of attorney over the asset, in the event of default or a breach of contract where they can transfer the deed of your home, and or sell your property without your approval(cost, fees, time)Below is a situation I'm trying to evaluate.

I wanted to share a few strategies that have really worked for us when it comes to maximizing ROI on rental properties.

Don't think you need to buy the first property that comes your way (I did that initially...actually just sold it at a break-even after all expenses).

Are you purchasing or refinancing a property within the next six months?

My partner was on the acquisitions side of things, so he is extremely knowledgable in novations and creative ways to get the property under contract and I still have an extensive list of buyers, I have built very good relationships with from when I was doing dispositions.I am open to any thoughts on the best way to start and I am open to networking with any one to hear how you got started and what you would do differently now that you have more experience under your belt!
