I know if we were taking out a loan this would not be possible as down payments for investment properties cannot be gifted, I'm not sure what the rules for all-cash purchases are.Since I manage our other investment properties in the area (all under my name), I don't want to put this new property in her name as it will create additional hassle of signing a new contract with our PM, creating new accounts with the utility companies, etc.Thanks in advance for the help!

You are probably not going to get away with not signing a lease though even if it is a short-term one.

If you look in the box that says cash flow and you see it has a minus sign to the left of the number ...then it’s not a deal .

I want to have the 3 m2m tenants sign new leases with me because a) I'm going to use the BP leases which I feel more comfortable with, and b) I would prefer to have everyone in a 6 month lease so that I don't have to deal with people moving out in the winter and trying to find new tenants then... 

We're growing every year and keep signing more clients and larger ones.

An escrow-only company can help with this as oppose to an escrow/title company that deals with typical mortgage transactions.

Signs of slowing due to increased inventory, but still double digit growth/appreciation continued for remainder of year.You will get good cashflow in midwest, but limited appreciation.I'm vested in southern California and Las Vegas.

I know to a large extent Seller’s and Brokers are interested in your “resume” which is why a lot of people invest as LP’s or sign on as guarantors for agency debt before sponsoring their own deals.

We even did bandit signs and that worked every campaign we did we got at least one Property if not more.

Not going to become "Joe Realtor" at a big brokerage, but the license will be quite valuable for our existing transactions and I think we will benefit from access to info on the MLS, etc.
