Ofcourse, as a percent soft costs would depend on the size of the project as some of the costs don't scale with the size.

I ended up spending a lot of money on both of these repairs, because I had to get a large portion of the main sewage line replaced.

As the cities grow and need to build more infrastructure, where do you think a large portion of those funds needed will come from? 

The specific market you find properties in defines those numbers, and they are NOT specific to a general size. 

Hey Greg,We have quite ours in our lease's Tenant's Rules & Regulations portion.

@Monica Lee - we transitioned to 75% upfront because when we did 50% (more standard) we realized that HomeRoom was fronting money for a portion of repairs and labor on behalf of the owners. 

.💰 Tax Deductions Business Owners Shouldn’t Overlook:🏠 Home Office Deduction – If you use a part of your home exclusively and regularly for business, you can deduct a portion of rent, mortgage, utilities, and internet.

Disregarding the theming (IE just comparing the appraisable size/comps of the home) it probably peaked out at around $900k in value during the RE peak, but is probably worth $650k-$700k now (again disregarding the upgrades). 

Or...could we do a deal where we finance it now on the current valuation...they get a DP (say $100K) and a regular mortgage payment (say $2,500/mth = $90K over 3 years) and they get a portion of the cash on the equity when I refi in 3 years (say 30% or an additional $90K) plus the remaining principal ($324K).

This tax is assessed on income derived from the leveraged portion of the real estate owned by the IRA, and also applies on the sale of leveraged property in an IRA.
