I am an accidental builder IE lent to builders who went busto and had to take over the projects. that was in 2013 muddled my way through the first 4 projects that I had to take over .. then felt WTF I am putting up all the money basically and taking the lions share of the risk why dont I just try to do it all..

Great prices and from what I have found over 90% of phone numbers returned are valid.

I then spoke with the buyer and his agent, suggesting we use a commercial lender I had worked with for over a decade, who could provide an answer within 24 hours, contingent on a new appraisal.

There are four key principles that guide me:- Consistency is everything- Never stop learning- Take Action- Value relationships over everything else1) Consistency is everything There are multiple things that I do every single day- Read – 10+ minutes.

As I'm looking over their explanation I notice that I am being charged 8% of the rent received from CMHA. 8% from the rent the tenant pays and another 8% of the water bill which the tenant pays. 

Of course, I could just be overly concerned and this is just a kind ol' investor trying to pay it forward.

Hi Pamela,The kind of guide you're trying to create can already found all over the internet and are very easy to find and some of them, written by other real estate agencies, are pretty good.

So, your focus may need to pivot from high rental cash flow to little to no cash flow as a rental with an appreciation upside.I would recommend taking your $150K to $200K and securing a solid equity position in something that will cover its expenses and maybe provide a small cash flow, but then is poised to appreciate nicely over the course of the next several years. 

The wealthy live where they want, the middle class live where they can afford, the poor live in whatever's left over.

It isn't easy to make things pencil, and I don't see it getting much better over the next 12 months.I have changed my rental strategy to Co-Living (rent by the room).
