I myself fell for the concept of multifamilies after researching how many years it would take me to build a business based on SFRs, as opposed to multifamily apartment complexes.

@Sara Marshall there can be a ton of competition on the foreclosures, and I have seen the prices driven up in many cases opposed to what you used to get them for.

Since it sounds like most of the debt on the properties are not even on-title (business lines of credit), you'll have access to the most funds as a lump-sum this way through one transaction as opposed to individually refinancing them. 

This new tax was opposed by may Springs homeowners who need additional income in order to afford to live here.

With regards to the 2 SMLLCs that will be used, will getting new EINs as opposed to using SSNs move us away from matching as closely as possible in the deeds?

Yet, I struggle to accept that a short-term cash infusion creates such dramatic tax disadvantage, as opposed to immediate financing (which is often impossible or impractical to obtain.)

I'm not opposed to getting creative.

If you are in the 30% tax bracket and put in $10,000 of your own funds and you company matches that, you have effectively earned roughly $13,000 right off the top, as opposed to you being able to put $7,000 after-tax direct into your own bank account outside of the IRA.Even if the investment options of the employer plan are not great, as a savings vehicle and means to squirrel away some good tax-sheltered savings, it can be a powerful tool.If the company is contributing to an IRA (SEP or SIMPLE), you can ask to house your account in a self-directed IRA that you could then invest into things like real estate, notes, and the like. 

I'm sure I am asking a question that has been asked before, but my searches on the forum have more to do with acquiring the rights as opposed to exercising the rights.Thanks in advance,Randy
