But, it is a cashflow positive property and if you look at your Cash-on-Cash return (which a lot of investors are more concerned about because it calculates the return based only off of how much actual out of pocket cash you put in.... this case being only $2300) then this is an outstanding deal on paper.As Ryan Dossey suggested if this property is not in an A class neighborhood then you're looking at lost rent due to failure to pay and evictions which would put you in the negative since the profit is so slim.

Speaking of Carlos and real estate and the exact opposite of tiny houses..looks like he's trying to shatter the record in NYC for most expensive townhouse ever sold .Carlos Slim 80 million dollar townhouseHe picked it up for $44million(chump change for him) in 2010....not too bad of a flip..and certainly NOT a tiny house. 

The market for properties that need a tremendous amount of work is very slim.

Therefore, when the pickings get slim, we tend to keep more properties until market releases more properties for flip/wholesale

Will Barnard - there is a very slim chance of the next Summit being in Vegas.

Bienes Raices I think the chances of more SS deals coming through than you can handle is slim.

Would you advise a buyer to wait and save up 20% down and closing costs and some reserves before buying a home when it appears the market is showing some signs of home prices going up in certain areas.Fact is most successful investors I know, especially wholesalers put very little money into a deal, most of their expense is in the marketing costs and there is no reason to hold back on that.I suggest you focus on learning to find the deals, the good news is many of the deals you find will not have enough meat on the bone for an investor deal, but you have your license and can earn a commission from these slim deals.I was an investor for 10 years and it finally hit me how much money my broker was making from listings that I led him to and so I chose to become a California real estate broker and started putting the money in my pocket instead along with my investing.Plus if you focus on working with investors along with the retail buyer your business and investments will grow.

Slim pickings right now, but I am noticing I’m not dropping enough offers.Hey Thomas, are you starting investing in Kansas from scratch, or do you already have something set up there?

The opportunities around here are pretty slim.
