I also think I have a partner for this deal should we be able to work something out (someone I met off of BP as a matter of fact...think we'd be a good fit for the deal)Anyways the owners main goal is to use his properties as a retirement vehicle and get mailbox money - - he is talking about structuring the deal where he gets a stream of payments over 30 years or so or at least have it structured that way - that aside, his main concern is taxes.One thing we had talked about his possibly starting a partnership where we could come on as partners, then over time as he gets his payment/annuity payments if you will and his ownership interest is bought out over time, then as time progresses we'd be "earning" larger ownership stakes where his would go down to zero.Would there be any advantage from the buy side on this?  

Should I consider these additional income streams or any others in my valuation?

I need another stream of income and decided on REI after this weekend.

Talk about multiple streams of income!

Because $900/month, with annual 1% increase, times 300 months is $376k.Either way, it's not too complicated to figure the net present value of that stream of income.

Your Effective Gross Revenue is your scheduled rent and, if you wish, ancillary income streams, minus your economic vacancy.Once you have NOI, your debt service is deducted from this amount as are any other reserves (capital reserve for future CAPEx; environmental reserve for reclamation on an industrial property, etc).  

(Or at least make sure you keep a stream of income that supports you going until you have at least doubled that income consistently and preferably with cashflow not one time deals.)The biggest killer of your business is desperation!!

However, in my case, buying multiple units fix-up properties allowed me to add value and improve the income stream more quickly than if I had overpaid for non-fixer type properties.

Because of the virus, all 4 of my income streams has been halted, and I don't expect them to return to normal anytime soon. it's the feeling of having to tap into your saving that is killing me, that's why I'm eager to put my capital into work now, but I'm aware that rushing things will backfire heavily, that's why I'm sitting in cash now waiting for a second opinion. 

I have a site that needs to stream video so I have a deluxe package at $6.99/month Lots of space and plenty of bandwith at a very reasonable price.
