Your risk is your ability to judge ARV accurately ahead of time.If you're going to buy and hold for appreciation, I think Florida is a bad short term play but given how hard areas have been hit, in 30 years prices are bound to have gone up.If you're looking to be a landlord, cash flow calculations are pretty easy.

This isn't easy to do and it smacks of a conspiracy to circumvent rules when it really isn't.We have a securities attorney and will get an opinion about this and some other constructs to accomplish what we want to accomplish soon.

Can't be too easy, otherwise everyone could do it. lol

In flipping I have used and built a pipe line of private lenders.I thought this would make moving over to LT investments easy.

Also, getting a HELOC on a non owner occ is not easy.

There are no easy answers, you have to do your homework.

It's easy and inexpensive to do using Legal Zoom and I'm sure there are other similar services you could look into.

This is cheap, easy.2) Personally fund the lending LLC with your funds, be it as a loan or what ever.

As a wholesaler I'm trying to create more value for my business and making the process of purchasing a home from me as easy as possible, I'm thinking about paying for an inspection(my best friends dad has a certified inspection company and he will charge me $125 on homes less that 2,000 sqft)so the buyer will know exactly what's wrong with the property.

Im thinking of putting maybe half of it in stocks and other half in real estate.In bangkok, a newly built mid-end condo, with modern facilities, carparks,for a 1 bed, 40 sqm in good location, fairly near sky train and fully furnished is maybe around 3m-4m baht. agency says i cud get around 22k-25k baht a month but im guessing its prob more like 15k-20k baht. most Thai wages will not be able to afford the rent, but its ideal for expats working in bkk. so the return is maybe around 6% before all costs, vacancy periods and appreciation/depreciation.ive been reading a lot of negative and pessimistic views about condo as a buy-to-let especially in bkk. there r so many condos in bkk and many being built as land is not scarce yet cos old buildings can be cleared and new projects started easy. and other factors i dont know. also traffic is a nightmare and the condos that are centrally located (and most expensive) have one of the worst traffics (altho it wud prob be near sky train or underground which would be ok for expats.keep in mind that i ll be paying in lump sum, wouldnt mind to gain some real estate exposure (im fairly interested in the industry),do you think its worth it to buy a condo in bkk as a buy-to-let?
