The challenge you have with being that tight on cash flow, there is no room for error.

@Greg L.Cap rates are inversely proportional to prices.Falling cap rates means prices have risen.But, you also have to remember, a cap rate might be tight in year one, but rents would be expected to rise over time.Unlike residential properties that look at year one cash flows, commercial properties go out several years and include appreciation and sales scenarios.

I won't bore or gross you out with details but if you run a tight ship then you should be making good money.

I am currently working on acquiring our first flip property here in Pueblo but am having some difficulty as the market is currently squeezed pretty tight.

At that point (without a looming deadline) I can begin investing properly.  

That does get real tight so make sure you have your partners lined up. 60 days for loan.

No getting around their rules as they run a tight, but slow ship.

He identified 3 properties within the 45 days and now the deadline is past.

Thus, continuing to drive up home prices in a market with tight inventory.Rents will continue to rise along with the cost of housing, thus attracting investors.hard money charges 12%-15% for flips.

@Sean Cole  its regional for sure.. the ones I had in MS and AL  feed us the deals.. but lots of deals there ... its funny as we talk about this.. some parts of the country there are still plenty of deals others its very tight the deal ship has sailed and its basically pre 07 market.. one size does not fit all.in Oregon we have little to no OREO inventory anymore all those agents that specialized in it are out of business and back to doing regular real estate.. the foreclosures at court house that were 20 to 50 a week are down to 3 or 4.. with MASSIVE competition.. it all cycles that's for sure.. but I bet you can still roll into certain big cities and buy hang over inventory..
