a million dollar commercial property with 20 percent down and a nice cap rate?

If your worth a few hundred million, then you might need to do that,,if not, get a several million dollar umbrella policy treat people right and keep your properties up to date.To get maximum cash flow you need to get a 30 year traditional mortgage at around 4 1/2-5% locked in for 30 years, not a commercial loan at 6-7% that the rate is only locked in for a few years.Your allowed to have 10 mortgages in your personal name, use those first, if your spouse has income and can qualify for mortgages, put 10 in his/her name,,,There are very few (but I didn't say there weren't any) reason for a person starting out shouldn't be putting properties in their personal name unless they are worth a LOT of money, as long as your dealing in single family.Take the time your spending looking at different corporate structures and spend it looking for a deal and putting in offers.andy

Now they turn 40 million every year and make 2 million In profit just by getting a 5% return.  

I might not close 3 deals in a month but I am working on 5 to 10 million dollar transactions that take longer in scope.I could see asking that question for a buyer looking at 50k properties.Presenting low offers that are not close to market would be a NO for most busy brokers/agents.Again when you are in demand a broker/agent can set business model standards to go by.A newbie just entering the business has nothing generally so they will do a "numbers investors" bidding hoping to get some crumbs on a small sale.

Once the first milestone is achieved, you set the next milestone. as the old saying.....the first million is the hardest.To embark on this rewarding real estate journey towards your goals and dreams requires commitment.

I'm looking for an investor who would like to star with me in a TV show called "Million Dollar Flips."

I understand I could always go off of future income which comes up to close a Million dollars.

The pre-existing statutory exclusion in section 121 exempts the first $250,000 ($500,000 in the case of a married couple) of gain recognized on the sale of a principal residence from gross income for regular income tax purposes and, thus, from the NIIT....Example 2: B and C, a married couple filing jointly, sell their principal residence that they have owned and resided in for the last 10 years for $1.3 million.

However, if your going to talk real estate the "Shark" I would talk to is Barbara Corcoran...she is a real estate mogul that turned $1000 into a multi-million dollar real estate firm before venturing into other business investments.Having said that...I think it is always a good time to invest in real estate.

The rediscovered value will return and especially when the nearby equivalent is already one million above these prices.Thanks,Matt
