might be smart to buy it and have hi hold the mortgage rather than gift it so you wont have to pay taxes down the line on capital gains from 0 dollars to whatever it is worth in the future.

My comment is, it really wont do that if your rents are at least 25% more than your PITI mortgage payment on that property.

@Marvin Byrne My two cents, I closed a four unit with the NACA program in 2019 and $10,000 wont get you where you need to be.

No doc that is asked for is not what is exactly needed.Your partner can get over their shyness or you wont get the loan, its that simple. 

As long as the house is in good shape it wont be risk of being condemned and demolished.

For most hotels the balance sheet wont be of much value.

This wont appreciate a ton but the cashflow is nice and I can get into a duplex that needs some work for under $200k if I find the right deal.   

I have a young family, and my day job is pretty demanding, so I wont have a ton of time to personally put in sweat equity. 

I was so blinded by the fact that I was cash flowing a small amount while still living here that after I move out the property I wont reach my CoC return criteria of 12%.

@Chasity Young, You wont' pay less.
