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!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Making offers on houses not listed for sale.

I want to buy a home for retirement. I am looking at lots of options, mostly focusing on the locations that appeal to me. I see lots of Zillow estimates of homes that look like great deals to me. Are these estimates accurate, even though similar houses in the same area that are for sale are usually priced much higher? If so, is it realistic for me to try to make offers to owners that do not have their homes listed? Would a realtor even consider helping me do this? Or, do these values indicate that the houses listed for sale are overpriced, and I should just lowball until someone accepts? Are houses today tending to sell far below list prices, or ??? submitted by /u/chewybrian [link] [comments] source https://www.reddit.com/r/RealEstate/comments/1o4mcon/making_offers_on_houses_not_listed_for_sale/
