if not, then push it on the tenant.By the way, what is the ARV, and the approximate age of the major components of the house?

@Eric Crockett wow, that’s quite a story, thank you for sharing all that.I definitely think that if your price point is 250K you’d be looking more south toward RI than north toward Boston.I would be reluctant to recommend short term flips in this phase of the market if you’re still just starting out (even with your one success under your belt - congratulations btw :).If it were me in your position I’d continue with rental real estate, maybe with a slight value add component (i.e., needs a little work but not a ton).It wasn’t clear if you were asking if you should buy all cash or not, but with rates at new historic lows I’d use mortgage leverage for sure, though again taking the market phase into account, maybe not aggressively (e.g., 97% LTV) unless you’re overall financial picture can support it.I’d definitely say do traditional bank financing with low fixed rates if you can (again, this points to more long term holds than flips), instead of hard or high-rate private money.And as far as partners, the old saying is that a partnership is like a marriage - a lot easier to get into than get out of.

Commercial General Liability and Workmen’s comp Insurances had a fixed and variable component to their premiums.

They stopped installing these wiring components somewhere in 1940’s or so.  

So even though I’m looking for a more cash flow friendly market, I am keeping a keen eye on the appreciation component.
