If your costs were $2500 to purchase and $2000 to move (total of $4500), this should result in a yield of about 35%, which is lower than I'd want to see for the amount you'll likely have to do to move the home.

It is all about cost benefit and maximizing profit.

I would like to structure deals in ways where I can maximize on tax savings on the sale of the property.I have read that if I sell with owner financing, the tax incident occurs when you sell the property and not when the owner financing terms finish.

You need to be able to run your business by making sound practical decisions aimed at maximizing value.

I really feel no love for the loan broker's.I have heard their plight but they feed on people and maximizing their returns at the expense of others every chance they can get.The only reason I want them around, even though I believe they will be extinct soon unless the get the Dem's out of office, is because they add competition to the marketplace.

As I said in my original post I want (as does anyone on here) to maximize my potential profit.

In many major metropolitan areas now you can lock in tremendous yields for the rest of your life; with the option to liquidate at a later point in time if circumstances warrant.

Hi Lynsey,Yes right now you are working for yield which is a job.

This allows each one of you to maximize your tax efficiency (by electing S or C Corp of need be) while not affecting the other partner's personal tax position.

My goal is to maximize the amount of dwellings I can have on a particular lot, earn rental income, learn how to manage my property, and have a decent apartment in the process.Thanks in advance!
