There's long-term money to be made on that strategy.

Some hard money lenders lend at pretty high LTVs, leaving little equity buffer to protect your principal.

But now I'm thinking of renting the whole house and getting a cheap apartment to save even more money.

To get things "shaking and my blood pumping again" lol as money is tight.

U guys let it get this far over 3400.00 its your fault.. even if you did something wrong.. who is going to go to arbitration for such a small amount of money..

I'm planning to use that money for a downpayment  to buy a multifamily where I would live in one side and rent out the other side. 

A good investor's agent knows when its necessary to request repairs or even concessions to offset the cost and even have repair money escrowed for the buyer to draw from after closing.

Personal money How did you add value to the deal?

They reversed the transaction initiated by the hacker and I can withdraw the money from my account.

I try to pay off all loans as fast as possible because I feel like money wasted on interest is overlooked sometimes as people only focus on the amount of money coming in rather than the amount saved.As of today, I'm just focusing on establishing the best systems to analyze the markets, find properties, get financing, make wise renovations, and manage my rental properties.
