If the feedback you get from potential buyers is too high, then you'll need to go for a pricing reduction or reduce your potential margin to meet their need for lower pricing.

If you simply reduce the investor's participation in order to reduce the rate of return, you'll turn investors off because they see the sponsor getting too much of the action. 

So while it reduces your taxable income, it will help your qualifying income. 

But it's quite rare today.I had a long interesting talk with the officer that handled REO's  at the bank, and how they handle it, find it interesting, and what's so incredible about that?

@Justin Y.If to you "tax shelter" means any method of reducing taxable income, then you may be focused on the wrong reason to invest in residential rental real estate.There are three advantages to investing in rental property:  Appreciation, Cash flow, and Tax benefits. 

In Pennsylvania, you cannot just hire an MLO to handle origination unless you already have a state lending license and everything that goes with having that license.FYI: The typical MLO will not be qualified to advise you on all you need to know.

For me, that's great as it greatly reduces my risk (otherwise, worst case, I'd have to pay him back 50% of what he put in), for him, maybe not so much.So, what do you guys think?

An MFR almost always requires that you hire someone to handle the management - few investors have the time to devote to that much landlord nonsense.

It has handles and is easily moveable.

What would you guys do in terms of resigning leases and handling the situation?
