For instance, within the home value you want.

For instance, you can invest a portion of your funds passively in a) notes or b) syndications and use the other half to purchase properties.

For instance, My first purchase was a duplex in a nice neighborhood of Dover at foreclosure; now that it is newly refurbished and fully rented, it’s a great asset, but selling at current numbers may not be enough of a return to warrant it (I perhaps over renovated) However, positioning it for a longer term hold is very suitable because of its great cashflow.

So, for instance, someone at the bank establishes the upset price, and say through hook or crook you find out who this guy is.

Your strategy may depend based on area but in my instance I don't have to worry about finding someone quickly if needed. 

For instance, in the morning when I wake up I would check the RE websites such as realtor.com or zillow.com.

Or the type of transaction--for instance, financed or cash. 

Especially for the end buyer who’s strategy is using the property as a rental.For instance, if you have a property that CF +$500 per month, maybe it doesn’t matter whether you buy it for $80k vs say $95k.  

For instance,When the market crashed, the banks had too much debt and the FDIC mandated selling the notes and/or foreclosing on the homes before they would have more cash available to lend.

For instance, I've seen people use gross income instead of net operating income in the numerator.
