If that's an accurate quote and a structural engineer confirmed it was necessary, I would recommend you plugging it into the calculator as repair costs and see how big of an impact it has on your projections.

Hi all,For those investing in trust deeds or private lending in an LLC structure, do you place an insurance policy on the LLC? 

OR tell him the property is already sold, and maybe just structure the whole thing as if he has no choice really, it's all just "After-the-fact" Stuff...?

@Paul Diaz Most people also start an LLC due to amounts you can use for deductions, supplies, miles etc

One issue will be if you are buying a townhome or condo in those areas, most are legally structured as condo's and FHA has restrictions on condos will limit the developments you can purchase into the ones they have already approved. 

Zillow has no idea if you just did a $200k renovation or if it's structural unsound.

Fairly common structure that has been discussed on the BP podcast many times. 

Demand does not always increase but in general, prices rise as demand increases and prices decrease as supply increases, and vice versa.Interest rates are actually one of the main drivers of price, as they have a direct impact on purchasing power.

What are some suggestions on how to structure this deal ?

@Emanuel Vega you seem to understand the basics about the LLC so I will leave it to an attorney to talk about how to structure things.
