Each is about 1/2 a social group, and the other half, learning and sharing from others in the industry.  

I renovated the entire home while living in it for a year and a half, moved out, and made it my first rental.

I wanted 15k down and 30yr @ 10%, but he insisted on 5k down and 15yr @ 0%. 5k is nearly half my cost basis which includes the adjacent property so I pushed the term to 20yr.

As others have said, there’s plenty of way to make up this marginal cost that saves your guests the embarrassment of asking upstairs to toss down a half used roll or make an unexpected run the gas station with a dirty bum

The one that actually show's you how to pick up the properties cheap enough to have half a chance at success.

It's very attractive to me to have 3 houses that would all be free and clear in a year and a half but it would take much longer to get my money back.

I'm looking for deal structure, pros and cons, tips, etc.My goal is to buy some of these new small affordable starter homes at a price that will cash flow, after foregoing my half of the equity split. 

I screened Tenant B per usual, although they have the least rental history of anyone I've rented to and are getting a bit of the benefit of the doubt based on Tenant A having been good (plus they have a guarantor, the mother of both tenants).Tenant A is moving out half a month before their year-long lease ends.

Hello Laura,I have actively purchased land that I identified for the last 10+ years.The easiest way to find out if the land is for sale is to talk to the owner directly.You can use tools such as Whitepages.com surprisingly they have over 90% of people's cell numbers.If you can't get the owner on the phone, I would send them a letter asking them if they want to sell, I have seen other people use actual contract offers that they send out to the owner trying to purchase the property.I would not share my concept unless its some sort of Charity that you are either seeking a partner or donation for.I haven't used PropStream, However one really good tool is called Land Glide, its and app on your phone, and you can look at the parcel makes in real time, and also see the owner info and for each parcel.Hope this helps,Dustin 

In fact its the EASIEST service call I get since I can arrange for the replacement within just a few minutes.
