If those things aren't enough to convince people to start adopting alternative energy sources, well, we deserve what we get...

What does your lease say about alternate housing in the event of a loss?

Followed by alternating Multi-Family cash flow properties with SFH B&H strategies.

So I wanted to point out that a hedged ARM also provides one the ability to qualify for a larger mortgage than the fixed-rate alternative because the start rate is lower.

The home we inherited does not currently have a mortgage on it.We are looking at refinancing our primary residence, and I'm thinking there will be a tax benefit to shifting some of our debt to the rental property, but I was hoping someone on this forum can validate or disprove my thinking.Every year we end up paying the Alternative Minimum Tax, which makes a portion of the mortgage interest on our primary residence non-deductible.

A couple of other alternatives would be to do a land contract, a wrap, or a lease option.

But if the alternative is to pay 25% down plus all the rehab costs out of pocket, it may be a better alternative.Here's an issue I've hit recently, though.

The alternative is to do it as a profit split.

I'm glad to have found this forum and look forward to learning a great deal, as well as possibly contributing to these helpful discussions.As a principal, full-time real estate investor and owner of Alternative Funding, LLC we see our role in this business as facilitaters.

The MLS is too competitive now and need an alternative route to pick up REO's and make a healthy return.
