How to Create Lifetime Cashflow through Multifamily Properties

"How to Create Lifetime Cashflow through Multifamily Properties" by Rod Khleif

 

This book was informative and free! You can download it online and it has way more information then what is contained in my notes, but this is what I wanted to remember the most:

 

* Business Structures:

- Keep each property in its own LLC.

- Create a holding company for those LLCs.

- Create a LLC or S-Crop to manage the properties.

- Create an S-Corp to act as your general contractor for fix and flips. Check the laws in your state for laws regarding acting as a General Contractor and be sure to buy liability insurance.

 

*Multifamily 2-4 Unit Financing:

- Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac limit mortgages to ten.

- The first four have easier qualifications.

- Many banks limit you to four for this reason.

- Fannie Mae's 5-10 Property Financed Criteria is:

1) 25% down for single family.

2) 30% down for 2-4 unit properties.

3) 30% equity for all refinances.

4) Minimum of 720 FICO.

5) 12 months of clear payment history on all mortgages.

6) No bankruptcies or foreclosures.

7) Two years of tax returns that show rental income.

8) 6 months of PITI reserves are required on all financed properties.

- You can get around this by financing in your spouses name, using portfolio lenders, or purchasing buildings with over 5 units.

  1. You can download the free House of Fun app on your cell phone and take all of the fun of the casino with you wherever you go! These kinds of free slots are great for Funsters who're out-and-about, and on the lookout for a fun way to pass the time. Despite ID being fine for every different web site, was rejected three times by Videoslots. The requests turned bet365 more and more onerous, it is clear that they did not wish to course of any withdrawals.
