While not unheard of, not as common as folks want to think.Terms that constitute predatory lending?

Learn how to do it well and you will see what I'm talking about. 100% cash on cash return is not unheard of.

I think owner occupied 90 or even 95% isn’t unheard of but I’d bet 70 to 75% would be the max in an investment property.

That is almost unheard of in seller financed deals.

@Tom Gimer  The concept of Amazon 15 years ago was unheard of .  

Thats unheard of!  

its not unheard of to have a relationship with a local community type bank.. although deal flow will be pretty small. .I had a pipeline into a thrift back in the day it was a household finance type company.. so suuuub  prime.. and Mrs.

Combine this with a job loss and things could be tight.I don't know and would venture to guess that a lot of folks here are fairly novice like myself and have day jobs, families, etc. and can't afford to make six figure mistakes.My last property that I used leverage for I put 25% down (getting a better interest rate) and it cash flows almost the same as my carrying cost: (before escrow readjustment, my cost to carry was $650 and I am getting $1300 for rent, now it is $700 cost to carry, so I am still getting $600 gross cash flow after principal, interest, taxes, and insurance).My next property I hope to do the same.I feel these investments are pretty 'bullet proof': if rents drop an unheard of 20%, I still cash flow.

Something that is unheard of in this community. 

I bought 5 properties in a 6 month span last year. 3 of which I managed to finance 0% down which many say is unheard of.
