It's far harder to qualify for conventional loans if you're a business owner or self-employed and that equals opportunity.When I look at doing a potential owner finance deal the most important thing for me is skin in the game. 

There is opportunity building houses, but should someone who doesn't know which end of a hammer to hold start building one himself?!?

Are there important considerations for having a manager managed LLC (as the only manager) vs a single member LLC specific to 1) real estate buying and holding,  2) for tax filing (E.g., as a disregarded entity) or 3) for how you represent your LLC (e.g., what title you can use to sign off) if you have a manager managed LLC as the only manager vs having a single member LLC?

We have only been in the STR game for less than a year and haven't had this happen before.

Even with strong net migration, it’s going to be difficult for these markets to hold prices.Mortgage MarketLast week, markets were sleepy.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

If the borrowing entity were to default on the loan, the lender will hold each responsible.

So I cannot be up in the game 24/7 like I'd like to be, but I spend a healthy amount of time keeping up with listings and the market.

I have 200k in liquid cash (yes this was self earned thru 5yrs of sacrifices and hard work 12-16hr days 7days a week with maybe a month in the summers as break to see family back home, but i dont want to do this forever) My dad and I want to be partners going into these deals. there is a new construction 4plex i am looking to build which will be 775k that i will put 25% down (half me half my dad) which will cash flow net 2k /mo if i rent it out LT (COC of 11% which isnt bad and apparently my agent who recently worked on a neighboring new build said the appraisal after its built is mid/high 800s, also my plan is after 2yrs to REFI at lower rate). i am considering to have 2 of the units as MTR for local nurses or construction crews which of course can increase profits much more.i also have a 3acre property that i am thinking to build small 2bd 1ba cabins and use as STR/MTR/LTR. but i am also wanting to do do STR as i love the concept and have watched Robuilt everyday learning from him. i am looking to buy land in a mountain/ski town (189k 10acres) and build a beautiful aframe and use as a STR. all these property ideas are close by to me so i will have a close look on them and will manage myself. i have just been consuming knowledge endlessly the last 3months in preparation for this decision.but as you can see my head is all over and im unsure what the correct first step will be. i have many goals and visions of what i want to do i just need some help making a correct first decision on those who are far more experienced than me in this real estate space so i use my capital in the most efficient way. i understand real estate is long game and i have no issues with that but i would like to at a minimum cashflow 100k a month by the time im 30. this is a big goal but i have 8yrs to do this. thank you for your help i look forward to the responses(side note: i am not considering house hacking as i live with my family, this will possibly be an option in the future)

In these real estate deals you are dealing with 10s of thousands of dollars and when things go wrong on a thin budget is when you see dumpster fires and hear the cautionary tales.Most new investors concentrate solely on the down payment when in reality there's lots of costs: Closing costs, Holding Costs, Utilities Cost, you'll have to lay out money to the contractor for them to start the project, and there's taxes and insurance there's transfer tax title costs.More capital than you think is needed.
