Awesome question, sorry that I couldn't give it an answer but been living in Arcadia for couple yrs now I felt the same way, Immigrants from China which takes a huge percentage of the population in Arcadia tend to reconstruct the property.And for a city that average of 1M dollar worth in each property like Arcadia it makes less sense to do Buy&Hold to me that is.

To Sellers out there, you can negotiate a percentage of those un-realized rentals for yourself to keep... after all you are the one who got the rental in the first place from your great reviews and reputation that you developed.

While only a small percentage of people get caught doing it, it is still illegal.

Markets which would make you really wealthy.But the IRR will help you evaluate in ANY Market.If I were to calculate the percentage of people in my circle of friends and family that DID NOT invest with me in the 21 years I have been investing in NYC, it reaches the same statistics, 95% did not invest.

That delay bring a negligible late fee calculated as an annual percentage.

hi there, im looking to get feedback on offering a percentage of equity upon buying a 2-4 unit property in my name in here in LA. i will owner occupy and eventually cash who ever the investor is out or upon refi or sale of the property. this is not a straw buyer move. i just basically have no down payment at the moment because i run a small business and seem to be breaking even each month. 

What percentage should we expect to pay in closing costs?

With this deal, I am looking for an investor to close on the house, supply money for the remodel and just take his or her percentages at the end.

If I am following correctly you would need to hire a broker dealer who could assist with raising fund and charge a fee or percentage for that.

Ideally, I would structure the offer so a percentage would be used as a down payment like 5-6% enough to cover the listing agents commission + a little extra, then work out the terms of the owner financed agreement.
