Hi All, maybe a dumb question: Looking at a potential flip and wondering if anyone combines driving for dollars/off-market with conventional loans?

But even so, you financing is also eroded by the devaluation of the dollar.

If a RE value increases at the rate of inflation, you have no gain from appreciation in inflation adjusted dollars without leverage.  

That is pretty standard in my market and if I am not mistaken it is more like $25 dollar add on here roughly.    

Although insurance may cover the rebuilding of your property, it could be vacant for months or years until the community recovers and people return.Operating costs: Every dollar lost to property taxes, and insurance is a dollar less for you to live on.Rent control: Government control of your rental property can transform a promising investment into a nightmare.Location Selection Process and ToolsYou can try to analyze all possible cities in the US and select the “best”.

Quote from @Kelly Monteiro: @Susan Walsh, where did you see the $ 100K limit, I've been researching on this bill and haven't seen anything mentioning that, not sure if it changed since your message was sent.CHAPTER 235504 (c)(2)(A) For purposes of this subdivision, a short-term rental facilitator is considered to have de minimis facilitations of short-term rentals if the facilitator derived less than one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) from facilitating short-term rentals during the previous calendar year.

For a newbie I don’t know if I’d say it’s super inspiring to spend way over a million dollars in a few houses and say you became independent on 3 properties .

I just sold my house , agreed on a price but told the buyers agent to add their commission to the sales price in a fixed dollar amount .

The law also established a slush fund for "legal services for tenants", meaning that we can be sued with our own tax dollars.

But we would've had to offer over $2 million dollars lower than their asking price to make it work.
