Cash flow isn't #1 priority, while obviously I care about it and I do not want to use personal funds to support my real estate investments, I'm looking to grow my total portfolio by acquiring and having tenants pay my debt.

The debt would go into both of your names.The other option would be what's called a "portfolio" loan.

hey guys i found this very motivated seller hes looking to sell me his two bedroom two bath family home for 15k$  He originally bought the proporty 4 years ago for 32k$ cash and has put 12k$ into the property the problem is ive just recently become serious about paying off personal debts and its effecting my credit the banks wont lend me a line of credit for 20k$ (5k$ incase of repairs)  and morgages are 25k$+. what should i do?

What price range is a good starting point I don't want to start to low and be trapped for maintenance repairs and such but don't want to overwhelm myself with debt to begin?  

We have are first deal and waiting for settlement but no LLC.My personal feeling is to get it set up ASAP.

My understanding is that the noteholder agrees to a settlement amount and the deed is hers free and clear.Back in 2007 an individual transferred a deed on a property with an outstanding mortgage of $535k in Brooklyn NY.in 2008 The seller passed away. since 2007 not a single payment has been made to the mortgage.

However, this foreclosure debt was 'hidden' in trustee's trust away from heirs and was not listed.

I have about $20k in student loan debt and have been throwing around the idea of putting it on the market in the spring in order to give me a clean slate financially speaking.

(I would if they want that as part of their loan package, but I would do my own pro-forma and check the calculator, making adjustment to entries for their calculator to provide similar results, you should always put your own pencil to your financing requests. )Be conservative with income projections, debt coverage ratios are a minimum of 120/125% and may be higher by location, type of project, experience and asset coverage.
