In regards to financing; If you are using a low down payment, it's not really realistic to expect to be cash flow positive.

I would just caution about putting up to much Due Diligence money up front.. and be realistic about your financial capacity.

I'm not in your market but I can pull national comps to help you guys set a realistic asking price if you'd like.

What type of terms can I realistically expect for a Hypothecation/Collateral Assignment of Note/Deed of Trust?

Make realistic offers on properties in B-C class neighborhoods.

Just be realistic in realizing that the ride might not start today, but in the future, and accept either result as a win.

Hi @Deven Wolfe In regards to house hacking if you are using a low down payment, it's not really realistic to expect to be cash flow positive.

If it works out as a rental, oh well - maybe I spent more than I need to on the renovation, but at least I hedged my bets and saved myself some worry in the process.Being 3000 miles away, I cannot realistically search for closeout sinks or shop for granite tile.

Now that I'm older and wiser; What is a realistic goal in terms of how many deals should i shoot for in one year?

However, you should have it rented by now so both lowering price and discount may be necessaryAlso check your criteria - is it realistic?
