I just put the rent money in and take out money for bills.

We no issues closing in an LLC, as a matter of fact most of my lenders will prefer it (assuming it is not your primary residence)Assuming it is not your primary residence, the easiest way to do this deal would be through a DSCR Loans.A DSCR Loan will use current rents or market rents if the property is vacant and personal tax return from you would NOT be required.It also referred to as a No Ratio Loan because your personal Debt To Income is not important.What is important is that the property can pay for itself.If we keep the LTV Low the rate for this loan can be better than a conventional loan.If you ARE Living in the property and you want to keep it... it would mostly depend on how motivated you are and how willing you'd be to "postpone gratification"The best bet is still a DSCR Loan.. which means you moving and renting the property out.We can bring in Asset Based Financing that can help with cash down (if you need it) or to pay cash for another property for you to reside in.Once you're moved out we can do the DSCR Loan at a 70% - 80% LTV or we can calculate a comfortable cash flow number.For example, max cash out that will give you $500 cashflow after a full PITI payment.Let's discuss more!

It does also cap rent increases to no more than 8.5% which while annoying (probably most especially in NY, where price of living is high), does at the same time help the tenants out as well as helps stop tenants from leaving for no reason other than huge rent increases. 

I think 50-150 units is no mans land and we stick to institutional level sized deals. his underwriting is too simple. the unit mixes are off we only build studios and 1 beds for fast absorption, the deal is also under parked without a parking study. anyone who uses "roughly" in their analysis isn't sophisticated enough. we underwrite rent growth, asset growth, and a million other assumptions this wouldn't pass any people I know who invest in deals. get with a More experienced operator and read more sophisticated underwriting. 400k per door new construction is crazy. how much is the land? 

If you can get a premium because future rents are on the books, go for it.

Now, for long term rents I did not/would not pick it if the home is in Shaker Heights.

I am specifically looking to rent out to section 8.

My questions here would be around the anticipated appreciation and any potential for improvements - either forcing appreciation or increasing rents.

Or slow Do people actually rent single family homes for $4000 ?   

A Stanford study revealed that over 75% of the ADUs built in San Jose between 2016 and 2020 did not have a permit and are therefore illegal housing units.The lengthy permitting process, high construction costs, and shortage of tradespeople are some of the factors motivating property owners and contractors to take on the risk of building, renting to tenants, and/or housing family & friends in an illegal unit.
