Still figuring out what exactly to look at in the investment property other than cashflow.

Advantages for the seller are that they may be able to sell a property not fit for the MLS and they don't have to fix up the property to MLS standards, they save the realtors fee of 5% or 6%, it's a more flexible sale, they get monthly payments they can use for income.

If you're patient it WILL get better and you WILL be happy you didn't give up when the money starts coming in.Since you're already hiring your own maintenance people the next step it to figure out how to oust the manager completely.

That being said, figure out your exit strategy as well. 

Purchase price: $189,000 Cash invested: $100,000 Sale price: $429,000 Multifamily commercial real state property, fix & flip, property management.

List and sale.  2.  

I absolutely believe in investing in my education but this class was nothing but a sales funnel to pad the pockets of the owners.

The nice thing about commercial is that it's a little easier to figure out your returns.  

The answer question 1, although they likely won't exercise it, they could technically trigger the due on sale clause and force a payoff if you transfer and question 2, Yes...you will have credit pulls regardless of the loan direction with few exceptions.

What is your solution for when the Due on Sale is called?
