Utah is flooding bigger pockets - I like the energy levels! 

Id like to hear if anyone has had experience in partially funding a real estate note...where two or parties fund a fix and flip for a real estate investor but NOT going through one of the larger crowdfunding companies in the marketplace.

There are three other factor, both very controllable, that also slow or eliminate depreciation:The quality and/or size of the home in the first place;High quality homes use better materials which last longer and look better longer thus increasing the probability the home will hold value.Homes smaller than 16'x80' normally depreciate faster than larger homes because small homes are truly out of fashion (forgive me tiny home advocates) and because smaller manufactured homes look more like "trailers" than a home.The way the land lease community is operated.Well run communities looking to protect the long-term investment of the community over short-term gains almost always stem or slow home depreciation.

I have no money"  So...go and try and find people who own their properties and ask if they will finance part of it if a bank agrees to finance the other larger portion.

My question is more along the lines of, if we compare things apples to apples, will I be paying a premium once my portfolio is larger?

There are also FHA Commercial Product but these programs are for much larger loan amounts and properties.Let me know if you have any questions.Regards,Joe Scorese

My concern is my rental income will be more this year so I would prefer to right off on a larger income year to cut taxes owed down.

Others will use RLV, but in this post, you have the formula, so whatever method they use, you (or your broker) can do the math for yourselfSo, the general formula would beSales price of home - (minus)Build cost of home, including hard costs and permit fees -Profit (can range anywhere from 3% to 15% depending on what builder, larger/nationals will usually have lower profit margins that they make up with volume) - Finishing costs of lot (per costs above) =Residual land value (RLV) or raw land/raw lot costsNow a few questions/comments/rules of thumb to use:1.
