For example, my property is completely rebuilt - new roof, walls, flooring (subfloor too), structural supports, windows, appliances, plumbing (all copper), electrical, bathrooms, cabinets, etc.

The fule of thumb when determing a potentially good rehab deal is to use the 70% of ARV (After Repaired Value) less repairs method.

It's not a bad loan but you have the normal underwriting structure.

I am setup with a Federal Savings Bank that is geared toward Real Estate Investors in all 50 states, 1st or 2nd mortgage/residential or commericial. 95% of our business model is structure around working with the the capital & cashflow needs of todays investor in any market.

How would I structure this deal.

As it turns out I have no structural issues after all.

Just curious, Which method find you guys most of your deals?

See how asking prices are jumping, and realize that there are a lot of underwriting, financial, structural, environmental, etc issues to work through before any real project gets started.I don't mean to sound harsh, but it is just a simple reality that this takes the time and effort of a community.

I went to our family lawyer for some help structuring a deal... and before you knew it, I was out, and he was in.

I had a question for which I wanted all the experts' opinions...For tax purposes (lowest tax possible), what is the best business structure (LLC, Corp, etc) for a rehabbing business?
