Appreciation is an awesome bonus but not something a deal should rely on.)What Every Real Estate Investor Needs to Know About Cash Flow...

However, service members are just like the rest of the population, and can take advantage of generous landlords. 

Plus — as an added bonus — Josh Dorkin comes back to the BiggerPockets Podcast to explain where he’s been and what the future of the BiggerPockets Podcast will look like!

I'm 41 years old for the question above.I'm torn between going with a Debt Management Plan (DMP) or just stopping paying on 2 of the loans above, waiting for them to call and then trying to negotiate next year when I get my bonus. 

You can also ad bonus and penalties for coming in over or under time estimates. 3.

I assume this is a multi million dollar deal.the builder of course NEEDS YOUR equity to get his loan.. now the good news is if he  can get a loan means he is somewhat to fully qualified.. you can do a participation mortgage in second position calling out for an interest rate and a bonus you just put it right in the note.. or lets say your lot price is 500k.. you simply write your note for 650k plus interest.. this assure you of profit.I would not do this though if you have no means to step in and complete or cash out the first.. nothing is worse than taking over a build project from a builder that failed mid stream

Any appreciation will just be a bonus but I definitely feel like there is a lot of potential for the neighborhood which is why I am a Parkside buyer.

It's a 2 bedroom in an A neighborhood with a "bonus room."

The bonus was also picking up a little square footage in an upstairs bedroom by removing the fireplace which allowed a better set up in that room.

I would say you handled this extremely fair, if not a bit too generous.
