If you invest for appreciation and you are right, you get BOTH appreciation AND cash flow because price increases and rent increases go hand in hand while most expenses do not scale up as such.... and now, the caveats:There are 2 "flavors" of appreciation: forced appreciation (which you control) and market appreciation (which you don't control but can screen for neighborhoods with high appreciation potential.

Worst case scenario, I'm eating a delicious brunch at the bar and catching up on all my emails. 

But as I said, that's me, my "flavor" of things and all that matters is what's yours.

Usually the tenant pays this anyways in their application fees, so it's really no cost to you either way.Now you have two flavors of tenant screening.  

Who knows what flavor of drug or alcohol he was using lol. 

I have been sitting on the fringes studying before going full fledge since a lot of the gurus promote their flavor-of-the-month which amount to being undercover paid advertisements.  

Account ClosedThat looks delicious.

You definitely added a different flavor to this post, @Jeremiah B. 

@Charles Hinson you are saying they are distressed therefore owner financing is off the table, i'd be interesting in understanding what you mean.if the properties are not bank owned, then subject to strategies are the no to low money option. that is a flavor of owner financing.  

But its important to know where they're listed because each one has a unique flavor to how you offer and the discounts you can get.
