There is no differential factor number, however, it will change if you are buying tenant occupied, if they are are going to be vacant at closing, if they are going to stay the full lease or you have to pay cash for keys.

It is possible to be successful in either - it depends on your skillset, your goals, your time and many other factors. 

@Rud SevCap rates in NNN deals are influenced by factors like tenant quality, lease terms, location, and lease structure.

Several things to consider: 1) One of the main purposes of segmenting your assets into separate LLC's is so that your personal net worth or equity in other business ventures or properties isn't exposed, so unless you have a high net worth or a lot of equity in a property, it might not be worth bothering going the separate LLC route, especially when it restricts your financing of the property.  2) Most any commercial financing you get from a local bank for a small property is going to have recourse anyhow and require that you sign a personal guarantee, so you're still personally on the hook to the bank even in the case of a commercial loan.  3) If you're a newer investor and buying a deal that's tight on cash flow, or if you don't have a ton of cash sitting in the bank already, your greatest risk factor as an investor is your investment failing economically due to poor financing terms or not operating the investment properly, not because you get sued. 

This amount will be a direct cost of refinancing that you'll need to factor into your overall analysis.3.

When house-hacking with 5% down, returns on cash invested could be huge when you factor in the appreciation gains.

Hi all,I have a few long-term rentals and am exploring a STR for the first time, and am seeking guidance / advice on my expected expenses (and ideally what i'm missing that i should factor into my calculations).

I’m not trying to rain on anything here but the reality is that measuring Btus delivered to individual units via airflow is by its very nature imprecise - if you want to know why, read on...The size and length of the ductwork is but one factor ( of many) that will yield energy losses while that warm air is being moved to your units.

Quote from @Luis Pereiro: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: what position that's an important factor.. bare land notes generally sell for a 20 to 30% yield. 

I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23If a purchase, you also generally need reserves / savings to show you have 3-6 month payments of PITIA (principal / interest (mortgage payment), property taxes and insurance and HOA (if applicable).
