Rents were $495-550/month for 6 of the units (4 1BR apartments and 1 Efficiency house) and 2 units were vacant when we purchased the property for $285,000.

I don't know of any referral fees, it's a job, which involves a great deal of time & expense, and brings a lot of value to investors, as it is the job of the capital raiser to research opportunities, vet, educate, manage investor relations on an ongoing basis, and ensure suitability for investors.Also, appreciation is only one way of delivering returns.

My question is - what criteria do you use to come up with an offer price that ensures you're getting a good deal? 

Any thoughts to maximize efficiency and revenue?

I like having separate accounts for my different businesses to keep the accounting simpler and to ensure that I'm not commingling funds.

I'm interested in purchasing an efficiency condo in Myrtle Beach and there are a couple of listings that look like they would be perfect.

In my opinion you should invest for cashflow first to ensure that you can service the debt and properly operate the property even through “tough times”.

In my experience, a HML who is willing to make loans to entities will want to ensure that the party who executes their loan documents has the authority to legally bind the LLC to a contract.

Energy Efficient Deductions (179D) – Your property may be eligible for this deduction if the property uses energy efficient assets such as Windows, HVAC, lights, roofs, etc. and is 4+ stories.2.
