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%.

But if you want to get the best risk-adjusted returns, then partner with someone who has the experience who can offer the cash flow AND greatly reduce your chances of losing principal. 

Should the lease payment adjust annually or less frequently?

Rent is still due on XX per your lease date, and the due amount will be  XX with the adjusted $150 credit paid in advance.
