I would like to know the ballpark figure and what it will cost to finish the basement into a bedroom apartment.

It's probably a good idea for you to also look into the valuation yourself and figure out what you think it's worth.

- Short Sale/Sales Team, Rehab Team, etc with multiple WILLING people! 

I figured I would come on here and ask folks on creative ways to utilize this alongside financing options to scale into the multi units space while not waiting another 4-6 year period to repeat the process.

The only way you can get anywhere on this is to have an early discussion with the seller of whether they would consider holding the note, but you'll need to figure out what appeals to them to get them to do it.

If not, you could take title as an individual and later transfer to an LLC (you might trigger some due on sale and/or transfer tax, so get legal representation on that).If LLC is not possible, I've used Revocable Living Trusts many times. 

Purchase price: $95,000 Cash invested: $60,000 Sale price: $200,000 Bought a great cabin in the mountains that needed a new septic system and brand new finishings.

What is the gross rent, I can figure out the net.

Their long-term buy and hold has put their net worth into middle 7 figures and just with a small number of properties.

Do you have a good sales contract already in place?
