Buy 4 more properties - one approximately every 3 months, based on the following logic = always fill existing property with a tenant prior to moving on (I'm new, and this is my way of managing risk); build resources to purchase next property (I have pretty decent purchasing power right now through conventional lending with my current job, and I also have a private lender ready to loan on my next property, and I also get a quarterly commission check that provides a nice financial bump every 3 months); finding a property takes time, but it is worth it to find the right property in the neighborhoods I want to invest in, at the right price.

Hello All,I am looking to buy a rental property with my parent (full cash no loan) and we are trying to figure out how we should set up the agreement in order to get the least amount of taxes paid and most amount of profit made.

Hi everyone, I'm wondering how to find lenders to broker commercial real estate loans to.

I like to stick with 2-4 unit properties so I don't need a commercial loan, and I don't have a ton of cash in the event of a massive vacancy or capital investment, so more expensive isn't necessarily in my wheelhouse.

And any work an agent would be doing on the loan side, wouldn't the be doing anyway (i.e. communicating with buyers/sellers, chasing documents, etc?)

I'd have to double the security deposit, raise the rent by 20%, and double the cleaning fee to even make it worth considering-- which I would if people were willing to pay but the market doesn't support those prices.

@Priscilla Z.You did the right moves by having your Affidavit and Notice of Interest in Real Property recording on the deed and if there was a problem, the buyer's realtor would have told you, but you will have uneducated people say what you did was not up above board or broker a deal which is not true you had a security interested in the property, and you have a right to your fee to release your interest.

Technically, the loan is in the seller's name and us as buyer are simply making payments with no personal guarantee?

for a DSCR loan, you'll need to wait 3-6 months and conventional, 12 months.so should you pay all cash just to beat everyone else out, and then hope that the appraisal gets you some of your investment back? 

I can only think of reasons not to: capital gains tax, loan interest rate less than the property’s cash flow, risk… The only way I could make it work would be to identify a buyer I know will default.
