Russ - The objective of this forum is purely education, but if you'd like to send me a direct message, I can provide additional information. 

She is the epitome of pure entitlement.

But it’s not my fault that that (smaller) investor does not make sure that no DNC-registered number is ever called by his out-of-the-country VAs in the first place… In any case, like I said, pure speculation on my part.I own properties in various states, but it seems that my half a dozen in TN get the most attention from them.

I do think something is off with what the realtor was doing if she asked for 30k in advance for staging which should be done by a different company, not her, but the post is basically just pure fear from not knowing what one is doing and then trying to out someone and take no responsibility.

That’s a pure cash flow play - monthly interest payments hitting your bank account is a great feeling!

In the process of BUYING a PURE Option to buy a SFH subject to an existing loan (at a lower fixed long term interest rate)Let say the OPTION "Strike price" to BUY the property IF or WHEN the OPTION is EXERCISED is $300K The seller wants $60K to sell us the OPTION.

As far as limiting risk, I am going to aggressively pay off  leverage to maximize my pure cash flow and not pull any money out any money. 

This will be my first pure investment purchase, my experience up to now has involved house hacking.

So someone who is looking purely to maximize potential return (and has unlimited time) is unlikely to find this a good fit.

Or a pure rental property?
