Hi Linda,The simplest answer i can think of is:1) Banks need to keep reserve funds based on a percentage of their bad debt (Non-performing) loans.

For residential contracts you can always use a condensed version as long as all main ingredients are included, as well as any important disclosures...such as assignments etc... 

The simplest way to handle, more conducive to a much smaller number of investors would be to just do notes and mortgages for the investors, assuming your attorney can draft around priority issues, or you can offer higher interest to investors for lower mortgage priority.  

Nobody knows the rehab of that house as well as I, since I sourced all of the 'ingredients'.

Town homes will be the simplest after you consider construction costs, resale comps, and absorption rate for this kind of product in the area.

There's tons of different way to invest in real estate and I've done many of them in the past 20 years but I've found buy and hold to be the simplest and most straight forward approach to wealth building.

I attribute this instant equity to several things including the strength of the market during those months but there are a few other key ingredients that I believe made this bump so pronounced.

Hi, @Clint Woods, The simplest and perhaps most effective route to take is to contact commercial brokers and let them know you have a property for sale.

In simplest terms, the second tier starts with what isn't the Big 4;) I have high level criteria that everyone else uses: population growth, unemployment, available management, target TAM, 'access' (roads/commute(s) to job centers), crime, poverty levels, etc.

@Holly RogersThe simplest answer is that you're going to have to eventually learn to estimate rehab costs on your own so that you can make the decision to even make an offer on a property or not.
