A blanket mortgage is not a product offered by Fannie/Freddie and is less desirable for most investors.Several friends of mine who own 50-200+ SFR rentals have successfully found small regional business banks willing to lender based in the NOI and cash flow of their properties. 

Not only is this good practice, but over time you will earn their respect, which means you will earn their investment funds.

And if the losses were recorded and used/captured during the hold period then the LPs will still pay more taxes than saved because depreciation recapture is taxed at a higher rate than long term capital gains rate.I don’t think real estate investing offers any unique tax benefits (except for people with REP status who are slogging their a$$es harder than W2 employees, which doesn’t necessarily mean they are earning more), though it definitely offers some unique tax disadvantages.

Possibly worse for condos, even in desirable areas.

That means the Price is $37 versus an earnings of $1 before tax. 

Property would be purchased 100% OPM.This is a desirable vacation spot for potential purchaser as well and would use 4 weeks out of the year !

If I did it, new to this country, not knowing English, not knowing the business, and "broke," anyone with the right desire could do it.

Most are terrible and never earn more than 25k a year, they just don’t care.
