Example: You own an asset that is worth $100,000 and you currently owe $50,000.

Originally posted by Account Closed You should have come to the last East Bay Sunday meetup, it was all about OOS, but the presenter shared that cool litmus test above (where you invest passes with flying colors btw) that kind of guts the standard "turnkey provider" model.Another market not far off, Stockton, same test as above - steady income (rent increases will likely at least track with inflation, if you zoom out to the 10 yr horizon), gradually increasing population (a driver of asset/home appreciation, 10 yr horizon), 2-4 unit properties still affordable.Do it for Oakland and obviously you will see incomes through the roof, population gradually increasing, but sticking point will be the prices present a barrier to entry that not everyone will be able to handle. 

@Luis C Ceniceros LTV is relative...based on your equity position, strength of the asset, the economy, and your personal financial makeup...DTI- credit score.

Also look into:- Bookkeeper (hire someone) so you can concentrate on building your assets and equity- CPA advisor (not just tax prep) and at least meet with them every three months with your financials- Real Estate Attorney - may sure they are in sync with your CPA Advisor- Tax Preparer - could be an EA or CPA.

Laundry leased assets in closet nets 220/yr.Individually metered electric (heaters), no HVAC (standard for that area and age unit), but building utilities run 5k/yr - probably business utilities not being paid - unsure.

Hey Donna,It really just depends on where you are at with your own investments as well as personal assets.

@Raj G.In order to invest a Solo 401k into real estate, the plan provider's documents must allow for alternative assets.

Companies even record goodwill and various intangible assets based on actual accounting rules.

In addition of course to the obvious tenant problems that will become more commonplace. especially those that are buying low value assets in a given market place. .LIKE a Morris invest house..

Then I realized, it's probably not a good idea to sell cash flowing and appreciating assets in HI that also deliver great tax incentives.Would love to hear your thoughts on anything I have outlined above.
