Six months is a Fannie rule.

For simplicity, let's assume that on the moment of inheritance the property's market value is unchanged.When the 1st of them dies I would inherit 50% of their share in their partnership, that is, $100k of the property's value.

Probably something simple I am missing or the deal just doesn't make sense.3 condos, the owner has 14 out possible 48 in this complex and if the deal goes through may lead to more deals with her.the condos are 1/1, 2/1 and 2/2, she is asking 76k for the 2 2/1s and 64k for the one bedroom. total 216k, she would hold a second position note for 30k with me putting down the remainder of the 20% down (13,200) and pay closing costs. she would like 6 payments, one each year of 5200 for 6 years which comes out to 31200 total, about 1.5% interest rate if my calculations are correct.For simplicity, I am counting the 3 as a triplex, so rental income is 2325/month, tenants pay for electric and gas, HOA of 185(555) per pays for water, sewer and garbage as well as exterior and common area maintenance, snow removal, grass cutting, etc. taxes are 266 and insurance is 50 month (HO-6) policy which I hadn't heard of before.

The free service, for landlords with two or less properties, tracks expenses, profit/loss, etc. of your rental properties ($50 fee if greater than two) but it requires linking accounts in order to automatically track and categorize expenses for you.I’m always uneasy when a website requires linking bank accounts.

I've been presented with an opportunity to invest in a 7 acre parcel on a mountain in NC, and need some help evaluating it. 10% annual return on the $175k initial investment, and 50% of the net proceeds of each lot sale (12-14 lots). 

Hi Patrick, A few things to think about:You'll need to find a property management company who will manage any deal that you buyYou'll need to meet the net worth and liquidity requirements to qualify for a loan You'll likely need someone with experience to also sign on the loanTypical structure between the LP and GP is a preferred return  and a 50/50 to 70/30 profit splitYou can have up to 35 non-accredited, sophisticated investors with a 506(b) offering, as long as you have a pre-existing relationshipAlso, do you have previous real estate experience?

If I could get a 50 year loan I would probably get one. 

A number of exceptions to these rules exist, such as for employment by parents, newspaper delivery, and child actors.

Rental A has an 8% hard equity loan against it (less than 50% of value), which was used to purchase Rental B (free and clear), which is now fully rehabbed and ready to rent. 

Do Fair Housing rules apply to you?
