After we close tomorrow, i'll have a flier created to post on BP.

You see, if you negotiate a package price, then you have nowhere to go when you’re done; but if you negotiate individual purchase prices, then you can always come back and ask for a discount if you take the entire package.Second, you need to know real values by using the comparable sales method and income methods to value the real estate.

It's easy to evict/confront when there is no relationship with the individual.  

I think there is plenty of demand for all-school-year students at SFSU in individual furnished rooms.

So you analyze the deal, just like an investment.So when the note was created, is there good paper for it?

You are right that there is a limit of 10 fannie/fred loan per individual.  

For personal/professional reasons, we would prefer the public didn't know what specific stock we are investing in.Having said that, is it permissible/legal for my wife and I to create an LLC for the sole purpose of keeping our names private? 

Hi BP Chicago,I'm looking to invest in South Chicago and seek to establish local connections with RE Brokers and Management companies with the following experience:-must have multiple year track record partnering with investors and must own or manage investment properties-specializes in residential multi-family properties (2-4 flats)-Focus on South Chicago (East of I-90/94)If you've had positive experiences partnering with certain individuals/companies or if this is you, I'd love to chat. 

Also, you should look for opportunities to buy below market and force some appreciation, so that you are not 100% dependent on cash flow to make all your returns, you will be insulated to some degree from short term market fluctuations, you create multiple profitable exit strategies for yourself, and your cash flow numbers should also improve to boot.

Cost segregation studies are often performed to isolate and value the individual components so these items can then be depreciated separately over shorter lives.Whether it is worth it from a cost benefit standpoint for SFR's in my opinion is debatable.
