I started a Partnership with some friends and relatives who mainly are Stock Market Investors.The purpose of the Partnership, in this case an LLC, was to purchase a $1.5 Million 3 Family in Brooklyn, All Cash.3 months ago I told everyone to pull out their cash in the Stock Market.They completed their stock sales a few weeks ahead of the Market falling off the cliff.I then closed on the 3 Family at a very good Price, collected a $40k buyer's commission as I am also the Buyer Broker, and just finished renting the 3 Units, signing the last apt lease in a few days, getting approximately $6k per month in Cash Flow for the 1st year.Not only that, I am securing an Investment HELOC at a 50% LTV, so roughly $750k, which I can use to investing in the Stock Market.I had already anticipated the fall of the Market as the inevitable Corporate Tax breaks had to wear off eventually.There just isn't enough consumers that benefited, in my opinion, therefore Corporate Revenues cannot increase and profits has to either stabilize as the max Corporate Tax breaks levels off.Really, only one way to go.I am anticipating the decline to last for a while.As an Trader, however, I will eventually buy long term growth stocks but also hedge it with PUTs in case I get in a bit too early.My friends and relatives are ecstatic as they probably saved a decline in their net worth by as much as a $1 Million.BTW, there is an old saying, "It is easier to make the 1st Million than it is to keep the 1st Million."

I would put it into multifamily. 10% COC is unrealistic here in Central Oregon in my opinion or at least my abilities, but I think you could by something with under performing rents and then over the coarse of a year or two raise them so you are getting 10% on your 450k, That would be using leverage.

Unless your attorney tells you that you are responsible for this due to another Santa Monica regulation, and that would be highly unusual, this is a bill for your tenant.

Even if growth is headed that way it may take 5,10,15 years to get there and nobody generally wants to be first in emerging towns.Example where I live in Cherokee county GA we have crushing growth.

Also, can I do this through an LLC or would that hinder my ability to get the best outcome since I would only be a one third partner in the LLC.

. ;)YUP deals are like street cars there is always another one on the next corner.. that is what my Dads Lawyer banged into my head circa late 60s and into the early 80s. but reality is for most buy hold is what they can realistically do with the capital at their disposal or their ability to finance.deal making and doing development and value add.. just is not feasible for most investors. from a capital standpoint.but when I put up 50k for a new build and 9 months later pocket 75k or more.. after tax how many months at 200 to 500 a month would it take to make that kind of money..
