Is there a formula to determine the optimal purchase price?

90-120 days is the sweet spot if you can execute it, but honestly most flips don't because the timeline has to account for reality, not optimism.

Those delays ripple outward — affecting leasing seasons, lender requirements, and reserve levels.This is where unrealistic optimism quietly becomes risk.I often see this with investors who underestimate how local conditions affect execution.

My research shows that the optimal tax strategy for a Canadians to hold US Rental properties is a US Limited Partnership with a US LLC or C Corp acting as the General Partner with a 1% interest in the Limited Partnership.Does anyone have first hand experience opening/purchasing properties in a US Limited Partnership? 

The question is whether you're optimizing for cash flow today or total return over 10 years.

I have seen a few try to get started over there last several years, but none seem to have survived (or are really bad at SEO and marketing) since I was not able to find any the several times I have searched.That being said, I know Cadre has launched a secondaries market for their own investment offerings, but that is limited in scope to Cadre positions, and is currently closed anyways and will be "re-opening soon". 

With a 620 score, the path that usually maximizes access while preserving flexibility is to separate “rate optimization” from “equity access.”In your case, a traditional cash-out refi may be limited by credit and seasoning, while a HELOC may cap proceeds or come with volatility.

The asset is stabilized with a strong NOI, and we have the senior debt terms in hand.We're evaluating the optimal equity structure for a deal of this size and profile (~$870k equity check).

Some condos have restrictions, while single-family homes can offer more freedom depending on zoning.The Jan–April owner-use window is very realistic, and the remaining 8–9 months can absolutely be positioned for mid-term rentals (30+ days) or longer-term tenants to keep things smoother and lower maintenance.I’d be happy to:Show you a few options while you’re in townTalk through neighborhoods that match your lifestyle goalsHelp you evaluate realistic rental income vs. expensesOr discuss management options if you move forwardYou’re not chasing massive returns — you’re optimizing lifestyle — and that’s honestly one of the smartest reasons to buy.Let me know when you’ll be in Savannah next week and I’d love to connect.
