Purchasing real estate is capital intensive.

This is the sum of all of the sources of gain including not only cash flow and appreciation but also depreciation and amortization of the loan. 

Purchase price: $240,000 Cash invested: $60,000 purchased this distressed duplex using owner financing for $240K and a $60K hard money loan for renovations.

Washer/dryers are often abused, so there's the initial cost of purchase and the risk of increased repairs.

I pay $875 (including principal, interest, taxes, and insurance) and rent it out for $1,625.

Do you include specific clauses in each of your subject to deals spelling out exactly how insurance on the property will be handled?

I'm looking to purchase an investment property in Allentown PA.

We have a few areas hotter than others which include West Village, East English Village, Corktown, Jefferson/Chalmers, The University District, Northend, Sugar Hill District/Medical Center, and others.If you want help navigating Detroit we would love to show you around and point you toward where the best deals are.

One year after I used that property to pull a HELOC and this year used that money to purchase an off market 4 family property in Clinton for well under market value, which I just recently finished all of the repairs and upgrades on.

And, at that time and place, it would arguably be silly NOT to do so. 100%.This post was biased towards San Francisco, and California more general to include Los Angeles and San Diego, today in 2024.
