This allows you to be able to indefinitely defer all of taxes on investment property, and use it to purchase larger or multiple investment properties.

- Any special or unusual real estate rules I should be aware of in *Indianapolis*?

Does the partner flat want to sell, or just doesn't want to mess with a STR?

First you have to determine if you want to go Lead Free or Lead Safe.

(We individual investors or Long term Lenders can't borrow at that rate) Mortgage rates typically follow the 10 yr Treasury yield. 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

Thank you Ned, that is exactly right, we actually check a condo/townhouse about 2 weeks ago, the thing was a condo with a basement, I cannot tell if it was a condo or townhome, anyway, the ceiling in the first floor was bowing, the 2nd floor, one of the bedroom was sinking, could not tell how this damage was done but the walls came apart from the floor, you could see the roof of the unit bowing inwards towards the structure a bit, and their "general contractor" estimate that for 5k they could straighten the property and level everything, even 1 window and 1 door looked so uneven that you would think  there was something wrong with your eyes...5k for structural damage, good luck with that one, we ran as far as we could from that....but we have seen they do inflate their ARV, since we learned the hard way , we go through these deals with a magnifying glass, I knew I was not so picky, numbers do not lie.Another thing that caught my attention, which I do not know if I am overly suspicious now that I am older, but they want to get the closing for us at the same time/day they are getting the property from whoever they buying it, which it seems to me they try to save on the closing by having a "dual" closing when in reality is just 1 closing and we are the one paying for it...I do not know there are few things that do not click right with this folks.

Still, after a few months, I figured it wasn't the best fit for my interest as I'm interested in raising capital or using other people's money to buy multifamily.

Through observing what many of these out of state or passive real estate investors (your most likely client base)  prioritize in these forums two items that jump out are avoidance of major capex repairs and asset protection.

Again, not sure if a notary is necessary or if its just an extra binding option.
