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.

    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.

Some People Consider Real Estate Investing Similar to Buying a Boat When you get right down to it, buying a non-performing mortgage is like buying a boat; the two happiest days are the day you buy it, and the day you sell it! Investing in a non-performing mortgage note (NPN-NPL), and cashing out for a profit, are my two happiest days as a note investor. A non-performing note is basically a mortgage where the borrower has stopped paying which means you can buy it at a discount. You have heard the old saying in real estate, the profit is made when you buy. How true that is, especially in the note world! We have found that you have to take into account all the costs you will run into from the day you buy it, until the day you sell it, and use that to make sure you are not overpaying. If not, you can lose money; sometimes a lot, sometimes all of it. While there are some warm and fuzzy feelings experienced when you own the boat, like taking it out on the water for the first time, you are go...

What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow

"What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow" By Frank Gallinelli   Frank Gallineli's book "What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow... And 36 Other Key Financial Measures" is highly technical, but very interesting. I found it helped me by explaining the math behind the deals in plain English.   The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the basics of real estate investing and an introduction to the concepts that need to be understood. The second part covers individual calculations such as compound interest, cash-on-cash return, and internal rate of return. It is best kept as a reference, so my notes are limited:   How to make money in Real Estate: * Cash Flow - also called "net spendable cash", this is the left over money each month after all of your bills are paid. * Appreciation - the growth in the value of the property over time. * Loan Amortizat...

Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing

Financial Freedom with Real Estate Investing: The Blueprint To Quitting Your Job With Real Estate - Even Without Experience Or Cash by Michael Blank is both a ‘how to’ and a bracing bit of financial self-help.   Michael Blank, according to his bio and the book’s introduction, is an ex programmer, would-be restauranteur and a seasoned investor who’s lived both near catastrophic failure and phenomenal success. He sets out a strong case that for those looking to retire from their jobs and live on passive income from their property, multi-family apartment blocks provide the most time and cost-efficient solution, relative to flipping single-family homes. Blank then both guides and cheerleads the potential novice property investor through his three-stage process: 1. raising the funds for that all-important first deal, without relying on personal savings, 2: How to interact with brokers as a serious buyer and build the right team of advisors or coaches, 3. Rapid analysis of pote...
