For some, the attractiveness of the lending rate will be enough to forego the protection an LLC affords.

As our first SFR, the numbers don't look too attractive, but for a buy and hold scenario over the course of the next 5-10 years, the increased equity adds an additional incentive to buy.My question is: Is this just my perception, or could this be reality?

But, if you could buy it today for $150K and turn around and sell it tomorrow for $200K, then it's a good buy, I think.Some people say bad neighborhoods attract bad tenants. 

The potential earnings of the location and development activity in the area made this location and property attractive.

Currently listed under LIHTC... so I am looking for ways to pay the loan off quicker or pay down expenses to make the numbers look more attractive for my investors.

I was thinking what would be the alternate solution for her.

There are possible alternatives which would allow to you use these funds without paying taxes or penalties.First, you may wish to consider transferring the funds to a self-directed 401k or IRA which will allow you to invest in real estate without incurring taxes or penalties.

My alternative is asset-based lending and going down the route you talk of with no inspection contingency which means my offer needs to reflect that risk.

If you're struggling to secure any interest than your unit is either not attractive to potential tenants, or not competitive.

What are other turnkey companies for a newbie? Thanks!
