We'll make our networking worthwhile!

I don't think you can assign a real formula, because for every deal there needs to be some flexabliity and some deals will need to have more profit to offset opportunity costsSome examples- A SFH working right now that needs new heat system, new kitchen and baths requiring a total out of pocket of 50-60K after down payment, finance costs, carrying costs, ect might be worth while for a 30-40k profitHowever a major addition, new heat system, new electric system, add a half bath on existing main level, and otherwise total gut requiring 100K out of pocket might not be worth doing.

If you're doing a lot of projects and have the set-up, it's well worthwhile.

It may require a short sale or lender discount to make the purchase worthwhile.

If the answer is no you need to walk away or reduce the price.You want to have if the rents increase and all this other positive stuff happening after you buy it as icing on the cake and NOT to make the purchase worthwhile and viable only if these events occur.

Hmmm, I invest heavily in Michigan, specifically the Detroit Metro area suburbs where there are still thriving communities and worthwhile investments.

There are none in my county, do you think it's still worthwhile to go even if it's in a totally different market?

Any one read this book before and if so is it worth while?

Getting into the business with a worthwhile mentor has some advantages as long as the investment isn't to costly in money and time.

I think this approach may cost me a few worthwhile leads, but its a choice that I think will help balance the time invested in marketing against the results achieved.
