You can also ad bonus and penalties for coming in over or under time estimates. 3.

I assume this is a multi million dollar deal.the builder of course NEEDS YOUR equity to get his loan.. now the good news is if he  can get a loan means he is somewhat to fully qualified.. you can do a participation mortgage in second position calling out for an interest rate and a bonus you just put it right in the note.. or lets say your lot price is 500k.. you simply write your note for 650k plus interest.. this assure you of profit.I would not do this though if you have no means to step in and complete or cash out the first.. nothing is worse than taking over a build project from a builder that failed mid stream

Any appreciation will just be a bonus but I definitely feel like there is a lot of potential for the neighborhood which is why I am a Parkside buyer.

It's a 2 bedroom in an A neighborhood with a "bonus room."

The bonus was also picking up a little square footage in an upstairs bedroom by removing the fireplace which allowed a better set up in that room.

So staying all bills paid could be a bonus to your property.

And I believe cash flow is king; appreciation is a nice added bonus.

Bonus guess: a small animal drowned in it. 

My initial thought was to sell the house and bank the equity, save deployment money and my overseas tax free re-enlistment bonus.

Many people say not to count on any appreciation and to look at it like a bonus because you never know what might happen in the future.
