- Is there a clear benefit this new house provides you as a primary home rather than the old one?

Now in terms of how the deals is structured, I am struggling to see how it benefit you.All of the 620k you'll pay will go to your land owner who bought it 900k and is now completely out of pocket while the land still carries a mortgage for 550K.I am not sure how this deal makes sense.Is there more to it?

There is no benefit to her for financing unless she will make a lot of interest, but that will take years.

I agree it seems like an uphill battle to get someone to agree to it, but I'm hopeful that once the right owner sees the mutual benefit, we could make it work with multiple properties.

Google is more targeted in my opinion because if you are comparing apples to apples Google and Facebooks targeting methods It is clear Google is just better.Facebook targeting works by tracking what you like and post on its platform, what other sites you browse as long as you remain logged in on that device, and essentially will create a profile of you so that advertisers can target you based on your interests (scary I know).

Family/friends isn't an option for me, and I don't want to go the self directed IRA route because there are too many benefits I can't give up on (loss of passive loss deduction, can't do work int the rental myself, can't even save on commission as a real estate agent apparently).Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm looking to buy a value-add property in the Kansas City area and essentially doing the BRRRR method.

The sole exception may be if you're renting to a tenant who is just so old (or otherwise culturally disconnected) that they don't use digital platforms, and getting them to do so would be more work than the benefit would be worth.In my observation, hardly anybody under 30 uses checks anymore except where the government (or their old-fashioned landlord) requires them to.

There are certain benefits of starting an LLC (legal protection of your assets, with a proper structure - some tax savings, etc.), but there are also costs and time required, so I would advice to start as a partnership, and form an LLC if you decide to keep doing it on a regular basis.

I have 4 rentals here in a Columbia which I plan to keep, and my home, which I will likely sell if I move (for the capital gains tax benefit).The question I have is that Seattle is a hot hot hot market and while I’m totally fine jumping in with both feet, part of me wonders if it might not be a better market to rent in, which would  allow me to use the cash from the sale of my house for other investments.
