If you're postponing your capital costs far into the future (which you do when you rehab extensively upon purchase), you should expect total costs well below 50% for many years.

I gotta tell you that I'm having a tough time figuring out when it will happen, or should I say how long the government can postpone it by printing funny money.Mike

It’s also not uncommon for auctions to be postponed without a new date being published.

The money always goes to either postponed needs (braces; fixing the car) or postponed wants (that nice vacation; a new TV). 

.$137k....closed in 18 days (the seller needed that time to move and I got the foreclosure sale postponed to do the sale).These properties Will sell quicker, to a Real buyer and Net more on the mls.....every time.

My understanding is you can postpone the the fed tax, but CA will still want theirs if you cross the border.

A landlord may not evict a servicemember or his or her dependents from certain residences occupied primarily as a residence during a period of military service except by court order.The fact that a servicemember applies for, or receives a stay, postponement, or suspension of his or her obligations or liabilities pursuant to the SCRA may not in itself provide the basis for the following:A determination by a lender or other person that the servicemember is unable to pay the obligation or liability in accordance with its terms; A creditor’s denial or revocation of credit, change in terms of an existing credit arrangement, or refusal to grant credit to the servicemember in substantially the amount or on substantially the terms requested; An adverse report relating to the creditworthiness of the servicemember by or to a consumer reporting agency; A refusal by an insurer to insure the servicemember; An annotation in a servicemember’s record by a creditor or a person engaged in the practice of assembling or evaluating consumer credit information identifying the servicemember as a member of the National Guard or a reserve component; or a change in the terms offered or conditions required for the issuance of insurance.Whenever a court grants a stay, postponement, or suspension to a servicemember on an obligation, it may similarly grant a person primarily or secondarily liable such a stay, postponement, or suspension.ConclusionThose engaged in purchase money lending as chattel for manufactured homes, and those engaged in lease with option to purchase are equally bound to comply with these regulations, but not in the same format required for government backed mortgages.All purchase money agreements should contain, or by separate notice of equal importance at the time of closing for which the borrower(s) affirm in writing receipt of a copy of, their rights under SCRA in a format acceptable to the CFPB and other regulators.

Heard of one the other day that said because the tenant refused to sign for the certified notice of eviction and thus didn't get it 10 days before the court date, he wasn't properly noticed and issued a postponement. 

Public Auction - I've followed a few houses through the auction but a lot of them get canceled and postponed.

Big Question #2: Does it make sense to put 75% of my assets in a cash sale and own my first rental property outright , or would it be better to postpone my dream, get a "real" job in order to be eligible for a loan, and not put most of my cash in real estate.Big Question #3: How do I find a financial advisor who can watch out for my interests, if the financial people want to sell me their products, and the real estate people want to sell me theirs.
