Also, would have some concern that they say replacement cost of this property is 50% higher than their buying it for.

The Developers want this setup because they don't have to come up with capital to buy the land.

Make sure there's no rent control and try to cover your a$$ before you buy so you're comfortable and cut out risks.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. there's a lot of ways like petitioning, confidential sale price, buying other assets to offset and depreciating them in year one, etc. but the main way I would do it is to invest in ground up developments with tax abatements which pushes even higher cash flow and then to keep them as retained earnings or in a non taxable structure depending on your equity position.

. - Single family homes to rehab and hold or to fix & flip- Loan is in your name not your LLC- Rates between 5% and 6% depending on credit score- 30 year term loan, fixed rate, no pre payment penalty if sold or paid off anytime- Example buy at 100,000 and add 50,000 for rehab = 150,000 means 15% down payment or 22,500- So the buy is financed at 85% and so is the rehab if you look at it that way- House will be appraised off a contractors write up of the work to be done and must appraise out ARV to at least the 150,000 to make sense at all; if not loan is not approved so a buyer cannot get into trouble in that sense with lender oversight- all work must be done by licensed trades people, not the own themselvesIf this sounds plausible I'm happy to answer questions.

A much simpler strategy may be to sell the property, buy a new property, do a cost-seg analysis and take Bonus Depreciation. 

All:I've recently passed my 15th anniversary of buying my first investment property and have been reflecting on what I've done right and wrong in those years.

The option money will stay with the seller and the extra monthly amount paid will go to whomever specified in the contract (usually the seller). 5.

You might even pull out some extra cash on increased equity while you're at it.

HI, pretty curious about what the Fayetteville officials are like in regards to this process? Anyone have experience with this process and any advice? Even things on how to investigate the local process would be welco...
