Just bought my first small apartment building in Louisville, Ky!
It’s a 6 unit, brick building with slanted roofs. 4 two bed two bath and two one bed one bath.
The deal was owner financed and found through a realtor. I’ve hired a PM company to help get it turned around and managed correctly.
This has been a goal for a while and I’m excited to get into more!

Hi Jordan,
Since this deal was owner financed how much approx did you have to come out of pocket. At the moment i don't have alot of cash and was trying to get a frame of reference.

@Jordan Moorhead Big congrats on your purchase! I'm looking to buy a larger multifamily in the coming months by marketing to owners (almost nothing on the market!). One question: you say that the owner preferred the financing versus the whole sale so as to avoid capital gains...I've heard that this is possible but how does it work exactly? I'd like to be able to "sell" the idea of seller financing to my prospects as well. Your perspective is appreciated :)
@Tyler Blackwell he won't avoid capital gains but he won't have to pay such a large lump sum at once. The higher the tax bracket the hire the capital gains tax is. This is just what we worked out though and I'd talk to your accountant about capital gains tax to learn more.
