These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.

The entire fiasco will create a media circus and a go-fund-me campaign for the poor couple damaged by this stupid law.

If the tenant has a reasonable explanation and a solid plan on how to recover we will work with them.You are asking the right question: how are you planning to pay double rent next month?

Some other banks will tell you 40% to manage your expectations but if you have a good credit and a the deal makes sense, the down payment shouldn't be above 30%.As to the managing of properties, if you can self-manage out-of-state in the US, there are no reasons as to why you couldn't do it internationally too and some investors do.

Bank of America’s business credit cards seem better, but I’d need to hit their Preferred Rewards status to reduce fees, which might be challenging.Amex: I like Amex’s reputation and services, but their outgoing wire fees are higher, which is a downside given how many wires I send.My ideal solution would be a business account with minimal wire transfer fees (especially outgoing wires) and a solid business credit card option, preferably with no foreign transaction fees.What would you recommend for someone like me who does a lot of outgoing wires and occasional foreign transactions?

Also, monitoring contractors/sub contractors and keeping everything on schedule can be very difficult remotely.If you're buying turn key properties out of state is fine and a property management company and a good handyman can resolve most issues you'll run into.

Happy holidays and a happy new year to you all!

If you have a solid ARV AND a great GC / team that you trust to do good work, consistently, and can stick to the timeline planned, even with hard money you will still make money at 75 or 80%, albeit a little less than at 70%. 

Nice breakdown and a great deal.

That one and a duplex off market sitting right next to it are right at the edge of a B neighborhood and going into a B-/C+.
