It's fun to listen to them scramble for an excuse to give a small deposit.I spend a lot of time helping out new investors.

This is a more efficient strategy than either finding deals and scrambling to find buyers, or adding additional legal red tape which only increases the amount of time it takes for you to get each deal. 

Like many comments above state - you need to work the deal all the way through to the exit strategies for the buyer/investor, so you understand how the numbers work.It also makes a lot more sense to start from the end and work your way backwards - find a few local investors who are rehabbing, flipping, or doing buy/holds, and figure out exactly what they're looking for, then go out and look for that (rather than putting a property under contract and then scrambling to fund a buyer). 

I hate that scrambling feeling but I hate that "I could have made that work" feeling even more.  

Since I make my money daily, I budget weekly and sometimes would get too motivated and pay certain debts off that week just so a zero balance faster and then go to low funds in the checking and have to scramble to make my income again to make the next regular bills do.  

I heard that same crap back in 08 "rents will never go down" boy did they as people were scrambling to fill vacancies.

I also purchased some bank notes several years ago and got a great rate on them, right up until the bank exercised their right to re-purchase them (as per the small print) and I got hit with capital gains that year as well as scrambling to find somewhere else to put the funds.  

So you have positive cash flow as well as fresh new capital.Given, how investors are on a mad scramble to get cash flowing rental properties all across the country, I'd just keep it as a rental and do a cash out refi.-- mike

The broker was nice enough, but she was permanently in scramble mode, trying to cover what I'd bet is a $5K monthly overhead.  

I don't want to be scrambling for information when that day comes.
