Justin Johnson Real Estate Banking Structure

I'm a fan of profit first so I like to have the profit first accounts at the holding company level.As long as each entity that holds property is "disregarded" for tax purposes, I like to hold credit cards at the holding company level as well.But, for me at least, it all starts with the entity structure.Since you don't have any entities right now, I would probably have a checking per property if you have 5 properties or less just to make things easier on you as you're just getting started with the REI game. 1 less thing to worry about keeping straight.Once you grow, you'll need to implement systems and processes that allow you to keep up with each property's transactions without having a separate account per property.

With a Conventional Loan you can buy a SFH, Duplex, Triplex or Quadplex with as little as 5% Down if it is your primary residence as long as you have the intention of occupying one of the units for 1 year after closing escrow.This is the strategy I have personally implemented and have assisted many of my investor clients in doing the same. 20% Down is also beneficial as it keeps your payment low but it does limit your ability of buying more real estate faster.i would be more than happy to discuss the different strategies with you over the phone or in person.

And while I did obtain some valuable information as to strategy and technique from 2 “gurus” and maybe 5 books, the other 200 gurus I listened to and the other 300 real estate books I read provided nothing more than either one or a combination of information that was outdated, inapplicable beyond a certain geography or a particular economic timeframe, incorrect, incomplete, untested, unverifiable, untruthful, or impossible to successfully implement by anyone but the most experienced investor.BP is full of posters telling you that they’ve watched YouTube videos, read books, and paid $20k or more for a”mentorship”and now they’re successful investors.
