I had a bit of an adjustment when I bought my first one, deal analysis, financing, purchase process, and due diligence were all a little different from SFH.Overall, I’ve been happy with my decision to invest in multifamily and going out of state does have a little more risk, but that can be mitigated with solid relationships. 

That obviously not being feasible in the near future, we are looking to adjust to investing in real estate and flipping houses.

@Jason Wray, I was going to use a home equity loan instead of a HELOC because I don't like the adjustable rate associated with it.

They are great neighborhoods, but your expectations may need to adjust.

The operating expense estimate adjustments were particularly helpful (because 50% seemed to rule out everything).  

While only the most Aggressive think that real estate wont adjust downward 10 to 20% in the next year or so.

So as it stands the negative ingredients we have at play currently are actually market adjusters not killers, one investors negative is anothers positive.

Hello All, II am looking for feedback on two things;1)The 'concept' of getting a 'valuation adjustment appraisal' on our 3-way LLC that is made up of 3 SOLO401Ks that own rental properties and are currently NOT in 'the ROTH bucket'.

Yes, in your first scenario the LLC would be the seller and purchaser.You can adjust your LLC agreements to reflect whatever you and your accountant want regarding disposition. 

The 5/1 adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) rate is 3.300% with an APR of 4.040%.
