I can't get the sense for the cost of their "Stage 2" service and they won't disclose it.

Blue Gate Capital strung me along until very close to closing and almost cost me the deal.

Here's a fundamental explanation to get your juices flowing:Assume a house costs $200,000 and rents for $1,500.

Id keep looking if it was not an approved short sale ( even an approved short sale takes a very very long time and theres no guarantee that you will even close on the house after months of waiting). q1)There are plenty of non traditional lenders that could offer you construction financing if the numbers make sense but it will cost you with points and a higher rate.

That's three months of mortgage and utilities, the cost of flooring, and the cost of painting.

Hotels are the baby of real estate investing and running a business.Unlike any other commercial asset class, hotels are extremely labor-intensive to run but can spit off ridiculous cash flow.

Additionally you can do a cost segregation study and get a lot of depreciation benefits to offset the rental income (and potentially other income).  

We have a reasonable cost of living and properties are significantly less than CA.

If you buy for $110k you can finance $88k if you come out of pocket for the $22k down payment plus closing costs. 

I just couldn't justify the cost of the program right now.
