Could you do a blanket loan in the LLC's name and combine all or most of our investment property?

from the price differences and the fact that one of the houses in newly built, while the others are older, means that you are probably looking in an area that has a lot of different style and size houses. this neighborhood was probably built over the course of many years, rather than by one builder.you need to look at sq. ft. and use that as a function in your determining price. come up with a price per sq. ft. for your comps and apply it to your house. different builders would also indicated different materials used to build, establish a discount for houses that are wood frame rather than block.

It would be nice to be able to start one of these conversations from another member's public post, much like the "private message" function on other forums.

I also use the note function to add little reminders that are specific to a person.

Those two combined would be a formidable social networking site, entity, phenomenon...whatever you want to call it.

So, that combined with up to 6% in seller concesions toward closing costs would possibly get you in with no outta pocket.Additionally if one of you are not going to occupy the property then that is ok with FHA.

It may be a flat fee, percentage, or combination.

I would calculate the 5+ combined as a commercial deal then figure out her broker split then find the number equal to what she would have seen on a comission check.

Some are a combination.
