Quote from @Ryan Daulton:
I live in an increasingly expensive market. What are the advantages of doing a BRRRR on an existing property vs. buying the land and building a new house from the ground up? For example, are there more tax deductions for doing a BRRRR? I can save alot of money by just building a new house.
If I had a choice I would definitely pick the new construction. BRRRRs are alot of work to make them successful. I did one and have learned so much. Less hassle since everything is brand new. Less maintenance.

I have tenants pay it directly with the utility provider when possible. Two rentals I have, the water has to be in the owner's name. For those, I sent the quarterly bill to the tenants and they add it to the rent the following month.

Thank You,

Quote from @Tyson E Keslar:
I am a remodeling contractor and have a long time friend/acquaintance with significant resources and capital. We are considering a partnership where he provides funding and I will manage the projects. Our focus will be long term buy and hold multi family units. We are trying to put together a business plan that works for the both of us. Looking for advice and recommendations on how to go about structuring such a relationship?
@Tyson E Keslar I have a friend who asked a similar question. This is the responses we have received. It's alot to think about. I hope this helps.
"There are many things to consider in such a situation, it is not black and white but a relationship has to begin with trust. You can say that in some situations a 50% / 50% will work in other it won't. This has to be evaluated case by case. Basically the other investors is acting as Realtor , property manager and manager overseeing the flip in this case. Considering general scenario 10% for property manager and 3% for realtor and manager say 5% or fixed fee the 1st investor cost is coming to 18% so adding 5-10% on basis of future deals and partnership I can think of 25% - 30 % would still be great deal for 2nd investor."
Post: How much should my tenant make if Rent is $1,680, in the DFW area?

Quote from @Kevin Sobilo:
@Tiia Hyrske, the common benchmark is GROSS income 3x rent. So, $60,480 in household income per year.
However, I personally go 1 step further as many people have outsized debt obligations. relative to their income.
I also require:
Rent + Monthly Debt <= 45% of GROSS monthly income
Example: So, someone making $6,000 per month ($72,000 per year) meets the initial income requirement BUT if they have a $750 car loan, $250 child support payment, and $250 credit card payment $1250 total then
$1680 (rent) + $1250 (monthly debt) <= 45% x $6000 (monthly income)
$2930 <=$2700 (DENIED)
I like @Kevin Sobilo method. Very creative. I feel this is the best way to handle this situation. Another question I have is your future tenant going to be a section 8 tenant? I currently have one on my second rental and the strategy above doesn't apply. The government for my tenant is paying the full rent amount due to low income. I did do a background check, credit score, and talked to the previous landlord to ensure they are responsible. Good luck!
