This just follows the general rule of not owning properties in corporations and it has everything to do with the way it is taxed when it is transferred out of the entity.

Property taxes and HOA fees should be incorporated into that amount.  

Landlords who incorporate a written definition of damage within their lease agreement will minimize disputes with tenants.Example: Damage includes, but is not limited to, stains on carpets, scratches on hardwood floors, damage to woodwork and walls, etc.If you charge a refundable pet deposit, you need to return it if no damage has been caused by the pet when the tenant moves out.

Hey,already learned for several months and analyzed some real deals.Still in my learning phase, after reading a lot logs and talked with different investors/brokers,just would like to discuss/clarify some important points for underwriting apartment buildings (> 6 units, income properties).First way to underwriting apartment building is based on the actual/verified seller financial datas (income/expense) and market prevailing cap rates to get reasonable market value, then based on the physical (rehab costs) condition to get the offer price.Another way is my prefer and most value-based methodology.First of all, based on the market research to come to your own expense (property manger expense, insurances,taxes,cap expenditure sand utilities) and based on the market condition to come at rents or other income numbers, to get your own NOI and cash flow.Then base on the value-play plan (financial terms and holding period) and (most importantly) IRR target for the property.Use the expected cash flow,IRR,holding period and expected exit price to get the offer price.Just wonder which way is better from the value-add investing perspective?
