Hi Friends, I’m thinking about buying a smallish home in Olmsted Township with the objective of living there when I retire, in 5-8 years.

That's why the BRRRR method or other creative finance must be used as tools for an investor/developer to keep growing their portfolio.Cash out refinancing will usually result in reducing your cash flow, however if your objective is growth (accumulating great assets in great locations) your goal should be to grow your portfolio, not necessarily cash flow as much as possible. 

Is there an objective resource to use to determine the CAP rate for a commercial multi-family property?

There are asset-based products out there designed for "self-employed" investors with high DTI, the desire to vest in a LLC, 10 + mortgages, unique scenarios, etc etc.

There are some nuances involved due to the unique situation, I'd reach out to @Melvin List in Florida, and this is juuuust nuanced enough that I'm going to suggest avoiding a call center big box lender at all costs, they don't do "nuanced" (at least not well).

You're trying to solve objections before they exist.

Your also in a unique situation.

These things I'm sure are not unique to Indianapolis and certainly more needs to be looked into, but so far it doesn't seem bad at all as a starting point for me.  

Hello everyone, I have a unique situation that I have not experienced before.

I have read many unique angles people take on their business in this forum and I would love to continue to learn from anyone what gets put in their portfolio and what gets left out and why.
