Concrete work is expensive.

The dark side of real estate syndication that nobody talks about  The investment would either need to have A) collected a significant amount of distributions (cashflow) or B) had a lower basis from one or more previous 1031-exchanges.

The resoning behind this is that while capital gains would be at a lower tax rate, the interest is ordinary income is taxed at a higher tax rate. 

I'd plan to pay off both loans within 5-7 years with cash flow from the rental and other income and assets.I'm an accredited investor and will still have more than a year of expenses covered in liquid assets and additional funds to buy another 1-2 properties in the next 2 years, which is my goal.I don't know if I've provided enough or the right information to get some opinions if what I'm planning to do with my current house and new home purchase makes sense. 

Thanks I would look to AirDNA for this - they have long had pretty good (guidance, not perfect) rentalizer solutions for projecting revenue, but have recently added good info on expected expenses and the property managers in the area (for at the very least coming up with expected operating / management costs) etc

Keeping your building expenses separate from your personal finances can make it a lot easier. 

As an owner, my monthly expenses are lower, so my cash flow is closer to $700. 

This type of financing will typically look very different and more like a traditional commercial real estate loan.That means a DSCR calculated based on a full NOI and expense load (so inclusive of vacancy loss estimates, credit loss estimates, repairs and maintenance, utilities, management fees and more – in addition to the property taxes and insurance expense that are the only expenses factored in on traditional residential style DSCR loan financing).Additionally, the DSCR minimums are generally going to be higher (typically up to 1.25x), the loan to value ratios lower (higher down payments) and underwrite more sophisticated (which makes sense considering the size and scope of the property).Many multifamily investors for properties of this size (such as more than 11 units) can syndicate capital and have more sophisticated financial and entity structures – its definitely a different world once you get up here in unit count.In Conclusion – when you are looking to invest in multifamily real estate and finance your investment – make sure you have the unit count in mind before you start shopping – the unit range can have a huge effect on your options.

I would like to see the negative connotation that DSCR loans are more expensive and always have higher rates compared to conventional. 

Also any advice on how to lower the tax on my flips.
