A multi-member H/W LLC in NC will require filing a partnership tax return.

People from all walks of life will hide pets or claim them to be service pets. 

We understand we need a lawyer to create a warranty deed but we have some confusion on how to handle to tax portion.

I saw a news story this week about squatters breaking into a home while the people were home and claiming tenant rights.

You can make this election at the same time you file your taxes by filing Form 1120S, attaching Form 2533 and submitting along with your personal tax return

This type of financing will typically look very different and more like a traditional commercial real estate loan.That means a DSCR calculated based on a full NOI and expense load (so inclusive of vacancy loss estimates, credit loss estimates, repairs and maintenance, utilities, management fees and more – in addition to the property taxes and insurance expense that are the only expenses factored in on traditional residential style DSCR loan financing).Additionally, the DSCR minimums are generally going to be higher (typically up to 1.25x), the loan to value ratios lower (higher down payments) and underwrite more sophisticated (which makes sense considering the size and scope of the property).Many multifamily investors for properties of this size (such as more than 11 units) can syndicate capital and have more sophisticated financial and entity structures – its definitely a different world once you get up here in unit count.In Conclusion – when you are looking to invest in multifamily real estate and finance your investment – make sure you have the unit count in mind before you start shopping – the unit range can have a huge effect on your options.

I'm checking to see if we're able to get a loan on a manufactured home, but generally I would look to get into a syndication (tax advantages, etc.) or private capital fund (10-15%) which is where I'm seeing we may be leaving quite a bit on the table.

Infact, I would have to show tax returns on LLC for two years before I can include it in pre-approval. 

While this isn't a long-term solution, it could buy you time to arrange finances for a complete fix.Insurance Claim: If the issue with the tub is due to improper installation, it's worth checking if this is something that your homeowner’s insurance or a builder's warranty (if still valid) might cover.Partial Renovation: Instead of a full demolition and remodel, consider if there's a way to repair the tub area without a complete overhaul.

Sellers motivation shouldn't factor in what you can afford, thats a bonus if they will negotiate, but your numbers have to make sense to you and work out for multiple exit strategies (str, ltr, sell etc)Running the purchase numbers is pretty straightforward, use almost any online mortgage calculator, make sure you know taxes and insurance (taxes will go up a bit if it is currently owner occupied and you don't plan to live in it) Once you know your mortgage amount then start looking at other STR's in the same area and same size/amenities and see what they are getting per night and how many nights a month they are rented to calculate what you MAY be able to get.
