And a typical bread and butter deal for me is a house with an ARV of 135k that rents out for 1,300 a month. 

Mike - At least starting out, I think it is always better to aim for the bread and butter blue-collar areas.

In economics, read the concept of "guns and butter" that might help in seeing the difference between real and personal property and it fits well in capitalism. :) 

If you want to do this full time as your bread and butter, you have to advertise.

Like when someone wants to evaluate on-market deals and really my bread and butter is off market.

California and taxes go together like peanut butter and jelly.

This is my bread and butter, decent bones but gross (cat piss, smoke, 1972 everything etc).

Warm butter or PAM spray.

hi corey. i have done it myself. one room, it came off like melted butter, the other damn near took an act of God to get it off. depends on what is under it i guess. i used just straight water on it, but the vinegar and water might do the trick as well. yes, some of this stuff does contain asbestos. i had a sample tested before i even started it. found out it contained no asbestos, so i did it myself. yes, it does make a mess, but in a rehab, you are gonna have messes anyway, right?

@Austin PeckThanks too.I wanted to pull out the largest dead equity first to fund the larger deals this year.The one advantage of focusing on smaller multis instead of SFRs from the beginning is that I still have less than 10 loans all said and done.So all I've done is cash out refy 3 of those bought with my line of credit into 30-year fixed mortgages.Different lenders:Ameris/Quicken/Loan Depot-all bread and butter conventional Fanny and Freddy loans.Money is cheap and so easy right now.So it's an opportunity investors need to take advantage of.
