This was a well oiled machine with not a day going by that emails were not answered.

Included the rental of the machine, the cost of the operator, new sewer pipe and rigid styrofoam.

HML or private money loan would have been  10% down and with renovations funded 100% so your leverage would have been better with HML by quite a bit.. and since you flipped it quickly the interest an points cost would have been within a few grand maybe 5k difference.. and you would not have had to go through all the machinations of a sub to and seller would I am sure been happier getting cash out and their debt retired day one.. 

Buy or start a business, that is literally a cash flow machine and then feed that cash into real estate.

I'm in the Providence RI area, I've been using deal machine to virtually d4d, I am trying to find the most efficient ways of finding a steady inflow of strong leads but I have only get loose ones. 

I found the content very relevant and informative, and the owner, Casey Denman, is a FL Realtor® who makes himself available via email to answer questions even after you complete the course. 

To tap into discussions re other CRMs, search here on "CRM",  "Freedomsoft", "deal machine",  "property list manager", "investor fuse" , I would do these same searches on youtube!!!!!   

Deal machine has free contact data and I have had decent results.

Thanks Michael, great info that I can pass along (while disclosing that it is not tax or legal advice since I'm just a Realtor® ;)

On one hand it is scaling fast, raising less capital, feeding the machine, and placing more cards on the table hoping their aren't more busts than winners.I am talking about in generalities and not Ashcroft.
