I was raised and lived in Bloomfield majority of my life.

We have completed 17 syndications and manage assets valued at over $500 Millons Aum, we have raised more than 170 million dollars for syndication.With over $500 million in Multi-Family CRE under management (AUM) and passive investments in over 1.6 billion assets under management (AUM), our experience and resources are substantial.

Very familiar w the city as I was born and raised here.Going 20% down conventional w plans to pay it off ASAP as I make over 100k per year after taxes and live well below my means.I hope to rent it out and cash flow as soon as I pay it off.Today during the blue tape walkthrough I identified an issue with the front door.

Would this raise any flags?

Taking advantage of a natural disaster to get yourself a pay raise, classic union tactic. 

(PMI effectively raises your mortgage APR and is no longer a tax deduction on a primary residence.)If you really want to invest, what short-term sacrifices are you willing to make? 

From what I am observing it is seemingly reactionary to cover lower margins and out of necessity to make deals pencil.Meanwhile I am hearing this spun or disguised to help raise capital, negotiate better ownership splits or to merely keep the lights on.

My cash flow might only be $300/month from when I buy, but market rent keeps going way up each year due to low inventory making my “base hit” look like a double or triple in 3-5 years as I keep raising rent.

We raised money for the gap funds on our deal.  

With our investing in lower-priced properties, we're far from being immune to these tax hits but can better absorb them with higher cash flow than most site-built single family homes.
