The depreciation is taxed at maximum 25% or lower based on your marginal tax rate. 

Allentown and the Lehigh Valley would be convenient, allowing you to see the properties you are buying, meet your team in person, and have a lower price point then Philly.

Have you considered an FHA loan, or other facility that requires a lower down payment?  

There is just a little less room for error when dealing with a smaller park as you don't have as many lot to absorb a vacancy or an increase in water usage(even if you can collect)..or some repairs to do etc.Good job on negotiating them down so far...for me i will still have to go lower and look something like this....200*18*12*.5/.1=216k purchase priceI prefer to pay lower than this based on a smaller park and limited upside potential based on your observation of market lot rents.  

I can't promote myself a FL Mortgage Broker on this site, so instead, if I were you, I'd look for something like a Stated Income ALT investor loan in the mid to upper 4% to lower 5% range on a jumbo loan at 75% ltv on a 10/10 arm, 300/240, no escrows and no PPP.And remember, use other people's money to make money!  

The sellers had high equity (they lived here for 25+ years) but low personal cash, and they needed the fast close to get the cash to purchase a home in a lower cost of living area.

Alternatively, you could buy an apartment building with a lower deposit and reach your goal even quicker.

If you go this route, I would focus on a single property - the one which is costing you the most in interest and/or the one which will yield the biggest free cash flow once paid down - until you reach any prepayment limits imposed by your financing terms.Additionally, if you are able to switch your payments to {accelerated} bi-weekly (26-payments a year) from monthly, that alone will trim your amortization and total cost of borrowing.Another thing I frequently do is to take-on variable rate financing on a property (which is usually at a lower interest rate than a fixed rate loan ... by as much as a 1 pt), but set my payment as though I have a fixed rate loan.  

Because banks will typically loan 80% of purchase price or 80% of appraisal whichever is lower.  

Hello, I am interested in buying a small single family house in a decent neighborhood (average median house price around 450k), but the seller would want to sell the land (50x100) next to it together for an extra 100k to make a deal. hypothetically I can negotiate it a lower price for the land (any suggestion on how to determine the value for the land), what kind of investment can I make to turn the land into something profitable rather than just being wasted?
