@Michael Cabaña, If your uncles AGI is something like $489K/yr then he falls in the 20% fed bracket + CA of 13.3, plus 3.8 ACA surcharge, plus a factor for depreciation which would be 25% and it could be close to 40% as a worse case. 

@Shaun R. there are several reasons but one primary factor could be the taxation status of the MGMT Co and any fringe benefits you may be looking to integrate

There are many factors that go into making an informed decision, and the following tips may help you determine whether or not the deal is worth your time. 1) What is the property's price?

As far as the refinance, the "unknown rate" is the biggest factor for us in considering a longer fixed term.

I would not personally let age be the determining factor on whether or not you should invest in a property.

I wanna make sure they have enough reserve funds but there’s a lot of information here and factors that should be considered.

That looks great at first glance but when you factor in the other expenses of holding and maintaining rental property you probably won't cash-flow.

Keep in mind that many factors have changed.

@Joe VilleneuveWhen I say cash flow of $100 a month per unit I’m refferring to using the bigger pockets rental property calculator that adds in those factors.

Some of these surprised me.
