Question: Can you just put the money together and have them share the first mortgage?

Specifically, do you look at comps on the market or try to find what value would be based on the cap rate? 

Hello,As the title says, I have found some properties that look to work in terms of cashflow and rate of return but I've never actually purchased a property before.

Can refi an existing mortgage to a shorter term “Mini Mortgage.”

CA House 1 rents for $2,310 my mortgage is $1,362 @ 6% ARM.

Other than my mortgage payments, I have kid expenses and those will decrease when they  grow up. 

The rebound came suddenly amid still very high interest rate environment.

Bookkeepers who serve REIs have to have a good amount of U.S. tax code knowledge or at least have to know where to find the info.You're not going to get this for $4/hr.I think outsourcing other activities to other countries to take advantage of exchange rates can be effective but do yourself a favor and don't do this with your bookkeeping/accounting/tax advisory/tax filing/etc (anything financial).Just like Kristen Ambrose, we see really screwed-up bookkeeping records from these types of situations all the time.

What is the vacancy rate?

Where do you get the money to pay for the mortgage for those months it sits empty?
