However, I have come around to believing that in certain markets like NYC, where appreciation over the long term is guaranteed (think 10 year stretches), your home is absolutely a (very valuable) asset.

I guarantee you 98% or more of all wholesalers never used an attorney to get started.

I guarantee where you are now will have higher fee's than them, which is hurting your return.

So as most people, I started buying property the tradition bank/ conventional way, with personal credit and guarantee. 

I mean most is section 8 which guarantees a check but is it worth the headaches.

There are no guarantees if your short sale offer will go through but it is worth a try.

There are no guarantees in this business.

Here I was trucking along as though everything was alright and while I won’t say I think nor thought I was guaranteed success, the idea that I could fail simply didn’t enter my mind.

Account Closed At an average per door monthly rent of $407 I guarantee you need to budget for more than 5% Capex and 5% Repairs.I also don't see anything for utilities, even if it's covering them in between turnovers something needs to be represented.  

Although the debt did require a personal guarantee we are happy with the deal overall.
