You can view/download the spreadsheet here:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1eWquKpM8cd...Here are my Assumptions:Market; West Coast (say San Fran )Cap rate at purchase: 5% NOI: 200,000 Purchase price: $4 mill LTV: 65% Down: $1.4 mil Finance: 2.6 million Terms: 5% for 5 year term 25 year amort NOI Increase 3%/yearNOI end of year 5: 225,101.76Net cash flow years 1-5: 149,867.16Principal Reduction years 1-5: 296,915.00Debt Principal end of year 5: 2,303,085.00Cap rate at end of year 5: 8%'Renewal terms: 8% for 5 year term 25 year amort Exit strategy 1: sell in 5 years Exit Strategy 2: hold for 10 years with refi in 5 years Based on above assumptions here is what I see:Exit Strategy 1 End of Year 5 sell building for 2,813,772.03 Less O/S Debt of 2,303,085.00 Net Profit 510,687.03 Plus 5 Year Cash Flow of ` 149,867 *Principle Reduction (Included) 0 Total Net Proceeds 660,554.19 Less Down Payment 1,400,000.00 Net Loss:  (739,445.81) * Note-Principal reduction is already included in the reduced O/S debt amountExit Strategy 2 End of Year 10 sell building for 3,261,932.96 Less O/S Debt of 2,125,147.00 Net Profit 1,136,785.96 Plus 10 Year Cash Flow of 314,281.00 *Principle Reduction (Included) 0Total Net Proceeds 1,451,066.82 Less Down Payment 1,400,000.00 Net Gain 51,066.82 * Note-Principal reduction is already included in the reduced O/S debt amountGiven the above scenario, in my view, it does not seem to make any sense to buy now.

However a single member LLC may not protect the owner from creditors.For tax purposes an LLC can file as an S Corp (file S election w/IRS first)No upper limits on the number of LLC members, S Corps up to 100No restrictions on LLC ownership interests (flexible), an S Corp can have only 1 class of stock but can have differences in voting rightsSpecial allocations in income, gain, or loss in an LLC is permitted but not in an S Corp they allow pro rata allocations because of the stockIn regards to distribution and contribution of property (not cash) an LLC may have tax advantages over the S Corp.

He sold my place pretty quickly (for a loss, but only a slight loss and I was already out of state by then and just paying a mortgage on a vacant property that would not have made sense to keep as a rental).I decided to work with him again now that I’m moving back down, but I want to buy another MFH this time and “house-hack” again, like I’m doing now.

Hello,I expect to have about $10000 losses from rental properties in 2020.
