Can you help me understand how a perpetuity would work as far as my ownership in the portfolio and how that would impact my monthly profits Have you seen any deals where the owner will carry the entire balance in return for a premium of rents?

The foundation there was not easily visible from the basement as that section is a crawl space that's too small to fit into.I had recently heard of a company called RAM JACK that does this sort of work. 

If you're looking at long term buy and hold, the majority of your return is in rent, not appreciation - we simply lucked out by getting into an area that's on the edge of gentrifying.

Another advantage you had as a JD in CT is that you can get your your salesperson license very easily.

I definitely think that if cash flow is there (have a good pro-forma) then you are better off using the cheap money for a much higher return. forget SFR's, especially in your market lol.

Right now, we have an opportunity to submit a bid on a piece of land that would yield an incredible return if we built on it.

Most of the multifamily deals in Atlanta are at unusually low returns so I would be patient. 

If they want a return on the investment, I would not put have their names as part of the business. 

Ronald something very small, I am helping his sell of things at this property and in return he is not needing a significant amount for the option. 

I believe I can easily rent it out for a minimum of $1200/mo and possibly up to $1500/mo with a few touch-ups to the house.
