The story, which involves getting into the deal (which was supposed to be a bridge loan), a would-be mentor who was operating under an assumed name, discovery and legal bulletproofing, and 'partners' in Buffalo has taken about 9 mo to work out so far. 

The benefit is that the funds can be liquidated to cash so that they become FLEXIBLE and can be used for anything (marketing, payroll, operations, office rent, etc)...not just acquisition or rehab like traditional real estate funding sources. 

Have you verified that this is a legally operating park ? 

Operate from there, then move to the next higher cost of money source and go up the ladder as you need to, then payoff obligations going down that same ladder. 

Thanks guys, just wasn't sure how the big banks operate.

Determin net operating income (NOI). 4.

There will of course be expenses which will inevitably reduce this 12% annual gross income figure down to 6-7% most likely (cap rate - net operating income/price+cost).so to get your 10-12% cap youd have to have an annual gross of 18-20% which means 1.5-1.70% monthly gross income to sales price+ rehab cost, unless if you drove down from redmond to tacoma and did your own management, repairs, lawn care, etc.

Sherwin, if you have 3 units at 700 each, assuming 50% of gross income goes to expenses, that means a net operating income (NOI) of 12,600.

If there are you might not attract quality tenants as you cannot control how other landlords operate around you which is why I want full control of a development.
