Negotiating the price down allowed me to have instant equity and allowed me to set my self up in the future to scale up again, whether it is buying a package of single families or a multifamily.

These tend to be mostly inland and mid-western cities, away from the coast, but definitely not all of them.I think these markets will deliver a good combination of rising home values, rising rents and cash flow.

I don't think about retiring: there's a certain sense of pride and high achieved from every home delivered to a family. 

On the plus side, I know that I'll reach them almost instantly.

What I mean is if I get the seller to take an unsecured note (with a better interest rate to compensate him on additional risk), will that debt be counted as part of the "loan" in an LTV assessment if I try to get the property refinanced in a year (essentially will that note amount become instant equity for me which I can play with?).

Along with the standard work I do on projects, these units included replacing all galvanized water lines to copper, upgrading the electrical infrastructure and installing instant water heaters.I hope that this helps!

Buying investment property is a great way to build a portfolio that delivers wealth now and sets you up for a comfortable retirement in the future.

But if a guy delivering oil calls you about a house he noticed on his stops, you close, and you kick him a few bucks, I think you'll be okay. 

As a new investor stepping into Orlando market , building my team , needs GC s to be on board which having hard time with , to find the right company and candidate to deliver the right results of timing , most to be done with least expense and reliability of work and trust , any body know the right guy or company please help , really appreciate it in advance ....

If I were to have it appraised and now comes in at say $85k and now have instant equity, will a bank give financing on say 80% of that 85k?
