In those conditions, you would look back and wish you had procured a 10 year balloon instead of 5.

I wish I could remember who said something like "Use your profit, but never spend it"- take a shorter, and much more deliberate vacation.

I would love to show how I can assist you in acquiring new properties and selling properties if you wish to do so.

If you don't serve notice in the right form then it can be deemed that notice was not provided and then you have no case.Best wishes

We want to ensure that this is a mutually beneficial relationship.If you would like to work with an Agent that does not require a commitment, be prepared to get a lower quality of service (possibly) and as always my comments here are "in my opinion".Best wishes,

I have two people wishing to rent out the cafe, and run it essentially as it used to be run by the previous owner, with the same name as well, which I now own.

Probably not a big deal on a $20k gain, but if you hold on to the property for 10 years, payoff the note, capture some appreciation, etc you could reasonably be looking at a $150k gain and the capital gains taxes on that would be significant.Compare that to the cashflow you'd expect to receive over the 10 years - is it enough to wish paying the capital gain taxes?

Basics:-I currently live, and wish to continue living, in Boston/Cambridge/Somerville/Charlestown in a “nice” 1-2 bed (w/ significant other)-Assume I am fully extended with 20% down on a ~$900k property (or less on more, as I am willing to tolerate a negative cash flow of ~$2k/mo, inclusive of my personal rent)-I do not presently have a contractor/“team” and am not personally “handy” thus would need to factor in significant costs to any rehabOptions, as I see them:-Buy a 1-2 bed in an area I want to live, live there-Buy a multi family in an area I want to live and rent the other unit(s) - may overextend myself and I will not be able to carry the nut if significant vacancies-Buy a cash flowing rental property (single family, multi family, condo) in an area I don’t want to live (e.g., Everett, Revere, Chelsea, Dorchester, other B/C neighborhoods, out of state) and rent in my desired areaIf you were in my shoes, what might you do (aside from compromising on my desired location and house hacking a MF in a B/C neighborhood)?

A Magistrate would not allow an eviction if the occupant told the court they were than a tenant.I wish there was a way around this too but courts will require a foreclosure even for a property in a trust.
