I would like to get my first investment property before the end of the year. 

It seems in order of increasing profitability:LTR < MTR < STRGiven that I'm based in the Denver metro area, unless I'm occupying the property as my primary residence, STR is out the question, as Denver has cracked down on the short tern rental laws.

A mentor of mine with 400 units told me I can use a large seller credit to cover most of the down payment on a property I'm looking at.

NYC doesn't work off of a standard MLS system, it is much different.

Diverse potential property that can be turned into a STR, MTR, LTR.

My calculations are based on 2 sets of numbers - the numbers the seller has provided, and my own calculations accounting for 5% for vacancy, 5% for repair, 5% for capex, 10% for property management and actual costs for property tax/insurance.I am trying to decide if this deal is worth pursuing or if I should walk away due to the premium on the homes.

Will having that home on our credit negate us from being able to seek additional loans for other properties? 

Welcome to BP - do you have your eye on any specific properties already?

I want to start advising my buyers to use land trust transfers when we acquire properties that have underlying notes since we are seeing an increase in notes being called.

I’d suggest reaching out to Horry County directly to ask if they have any abatement programs to potentially reduce your property tax.
