The more comps you have, be it the income approach or market (and cost) the more valid your assumptions or adjustments will be.I would never buy a property with only one comp unless I knew the market and was confident that my offer plus costs will yield a profit.

Make sure you pay attention to the details such as number of rooms, square footage, etc.As for the rent adjustment, you'll also have to compare that to the comparable rentals in your area.

Because corporations are separate entities, they are taxed at the corporate rate, while LLCs are taxed based on Adjusted Gross Income of the owners.

Your capital gain is the excess of your selling price over your cost basis (adjusted for improvements and selling expenses).

As we all know, many if not all loan products, not just including but especially on ARMs on HELOCs, home loans, credit cards etc are all based the prime rate when they adjust.

Maybe those of having trouble adjusting to the new format are a bunch of "old dogs!".

One thesis I was evaluating was purchasing 4-plexes that need only light rehab at the worst, maximizing the units I could conventionally finance for 30-years at low rates, as well as gaining obvious economies of scale on closing costs and property maintenance, then turning to my community banker for purchasing REOs and other distressed properties, with all meeting (or nearly meeting) the 2%/50% guidelines (adjusted up or down based on "risk" of location and frequency of expected turnover).

Quantiative easing is increasing the available supply of credit and lowering rates, but consequently a greater money supply means eventual inflation and higher rates to adjust.

For many vendors I find their pricing models difficult, they 'sell' too much, and some times negotiating with them is a problem since they are looking for retail prices and customers and don't adjust to meet my needs.
