Advice for Investment Property with Friends

Hey everyone

I’m looking for some advice about buying investment properties with friends. Two of my close friends and I are thinking of creating an LLC to buy an investment property. We’ve known each other for 15+ years, and we’re all pretty comfortable financially, so I’m confident in our relationship and trust levels. Each of us has around $25k that we’re willing to invest, and we’re planning on pooling our funds to buy our first rental property.

A few details about our plan: • We each already own our own primary residences, so this would be purely an investment venture. • Our goal is to buy our first property together, rent it out, and eventually refinance to free up funds and move on to the next one and so on.

I’m looking for tips on: 1. Setting up the LLC: What are some key things we should include in our operating agreement to protect everyone’s interests and keep things smooth? Anything you wish you’d added when you set yours up? 2. Financing Strategy: Are there particular loan structures that have worked well for anyone in a similar setup? Tips on maximizing our capital for that “buy, refinance, repeat” strategy? 3. Managing the Properties: Any recommendations for property management or how to divide roles among partners? (None of us are looking to go completely hands-off, but we also don’t want it to consume our time.)

Thanks in advance! I know real estate partnerships can be tricky, but I feel good about this team and would love to hear from anyone who’s made a similar partnership work.

Looking forward to your insights!

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...

Obtaining a real estate license as a hobby?

Hello, I am 24 years old - 2 years out of college and I have my main job. I was looking to get a real estate license (in California if location matters) as a hobby/for fun since I like real estate ever since I was in high school. In the past 2 years, I would go to open house in the weekends to look at homes for fun. I don’t plan to practice real estate full time as I have my main job but I am curious are there any benefits to this? In the future, I plan to own multiple properties and have rentals, so I was wondering if getting a real estate license can help me with it?

Advice? Moved out of my primary residence and now renting

I moved out of the house I own in August 2021, I lived there for 8 years, I have been renting an apartment the past 3 years and renting out my house. My current tenant is moving out in September. I seem to have just missed the living 2 years out of 5 years rule for being exempt from capital gains tax and my house being a primary home. Any advice on what the best thing to do would be moving forward? Continue to rent out my house? I'm happy with my rental, but wouldn't mind buying another property down the road. I could sell my house down the road and try to do a 1031 exchange? Moving back in my house isn't ideal because it's an hour away from where I currently live. I could take a HELOC perhaps and try to buy another property and continue renting for the long term? I do have a 2.4% mortgage rate on the house so I don't mind keeping it for a while. Thanks for everyone's advice. submitted by /u/Ok-Top-7859 [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.co...
