I agree with you that there is going to be a mad dash to book in The Smokies when things get back to some sense of normalcy just like after the fires.

Sometimes you gotta feed the adrenaline or creative beast and flip a house:)  Sometimes you need some quick cash. 

As for the other things, the little Dash units get used as well.

After knocking the initial msrp of $1000, being an opened box appliance and a floor model, I talked down the fridge $300 for a today pickup.Not going to lie I got an adrenaline rush from this type of negotiating too and also wished I asked for more.Anyways, what are your usual ways of saving money when it comes to upgrading your appliances in units?

Based on provided information, we find that we are unable to accept your application for rental at this time.This decision was based in whole or in part on the information provided to us in a Consumer Report or Investigative Consumer Report prepared on our behalf by a consumer‐reporting agency.

To be able to get an adrenaline rush out of doing something that others could not see or could not think outside the box and see the potential is great!

Then there are the issues of misusing terms to slide ideas past, buying under market value, claiming instant equity on a deal and financing blue sky as an acceptable collateral amount.Lots of wild ideas, presented with a somewhat twisted logic, a dash of hype and ignorance of the consequences is where most are in suggesting "creative financing".I do like other people's money over bank financing in some cases, especially in the short term, which can be up to 5 years, but banks usually have a better solution long term.

Review the dash board for excellent information as well as excellent material in the forms area. 

I am basically behind by about 2 years on my original plan as my profit was destroyed and any hope of picking up another rental were temporarily dashed because I had to do 2 evictions and 2 turnovers of filthy apartments that I thought could be handled by cashflow in the bank.

Start rehabbing, with that budget you may need additional funding from hard money or bank sources but you're probably not far off from where you need to be to get started on a project.Are you an adrenaline junky?
