They typically don't have a balance sheet per property which your tax professional will need (tax basis for each property including land, building, CapEx, capitalized loan costs, accumulated depreciation, accumulated amortization, etc). 

This could further erode your overall investment performance.It may be better to sell

It’s a job not an investment.

I am on my very first steps of getting the ball rolling in real estate investing and have read/am reading many of the BP books.

Hello BP Community,I am a newbie to multifamily investing.

This marks a departure from the previous multiunit financing requirement of 15-25% down payments for duplexes, triplexes, and four-plexes.This new option presents a great opportunity for individuals looking to invest in multifamily homes while also enjoying the benefits of homeownership.

Again, I am trying to practice and run some numbers on potential investments and would like help since I am just starting to learn the games of real estate and underwriting deals.

It may be a little too late since you accepted the insurance money already, but typically you would have a contractor in place (Ideally multiple quotes) before accepting the amount quoted to you by insurance.If your insurance company referred you this company though then after doing more research on them maybe they are the best option?

I am the custodian (no 3rd party custodian) and beneficiary of both entities and can invest from either as I choose.

For those out of state who want to invest in Baltimore , do yourself a favor research the area well , put your own eyes on it , run your numbers , then run them again .
