YOu sound like a graduate of Rich Dad Poor Dad. WHen I started doing that I was AMAZED at the number of people that will sell a house on a real estate contract, how easy it was to fix up the house and how much simple improvements increased the value of the house. Every 4 to six months there is more money for another rental prop on another REC.Christ, this is deja vu. We've been talking about this for as long as I've been on this site.
I 'bought' a house last week (took title is a more accurate term). It cost me $1000 out of pocket and I took over a mortgage of ~$26,500. The PITI is $264.52/month. As-is it's will appraise for $40,000. Needs a roof, some rock, new HVAC, carpet and paint. Took hard money I/O for fix up. The roof will be finished this afternoon. Rock by the weekend, paint and carpet next week. New HVAC will go in about 5 seconds before the new tenant. High speed turnaround, baby.
Will rent for $550 (closer to $600 if I upgrade to section 8 standards). I'll roll the financing and take a cash out refi in a year. So in a year, I'll have paid the hard money balloon, extracted some cash to put in my pocket - still leaving 10% equity in the property - and have a monthly cashflow of ~$200 after ongoing maintenance. Infinite ROI!
You hire a management company when you get a few of them. It cuts down on the boring parts.yeah money to be made there. To me though being a landlord is too much trouble. It is bad enough if my water heater quits in the middle of the night , or a drain stops up, or a leak, etc...
then the deadbeats....

Not enough to not make it worth it. I don't want to be a professional maintenance man.yeah if you get a good management company. It also cuts down on profits.
This is amazing. How many of these companies can the FED funnel billions of dollars to??
I don't have Toppy's economic background and genius, but this seems rather extraordinary.
"A.I.G.’s extraordinary move of reaching out to the Fed for help may spur other non-investment banks to try a similar move. Companies ranging from General Electric to GMAC have been hurting badly and would desperately love the liquidity that the Fed would provide.
Yet it is not clear whether the Fed would acquiesce to A.I.G.’s request."

The matrix can be reprogrammed unlike reality.
I thought that Top was in San Francisco with “ a beautiful woman”???? She must have another customer to service, because he’s been here for hours??
