Our approach
Investment Strategy and Deal Structure
Before you make an offer, we agree on the strategy (cash flow, appreciation, short-term rental, flip or a 1031 exchange) and then build the deal around it: how it's financed, who holds title, and which terms matter more than price, like inspection time, closing date and seller credits. Your attorney and CPA sign off on the structure.
FAQ
Investor Questions
- 01
What's a DSCR loan?
A loan that's qualified mainly on the property's rental income compared with its debt payments, instead of your personal income. Our lending partners can quote current terms. - 02
How does a 1031 exchange work?
It lets you defer tax when you sell investment real estate and buy other real estate. IRS rules say you must identify the replacement property within 45 days of selling and receive it within 180 days or by your tax return due date, whichever comes first. Work with a qualified intermediary and your tax advisor. - 03
Can I buy through an LLC?
Yes. Many investors do, and some lenders lend to LLCs. Ask your attorney and CPA which structure fits you. - 04
Can I run a short-term rental in Fort Lauderdale?
The City of Fort Lauderdale runs a vacation rental registration program, and condo and HOA rules can limit rentals, so we check both before you offer.
