I had been in talks with a rehabber in my area who uses hard money lenders to fund his projects and we were to be doing a fix and flip this month, so I went ahead and got myself a $10k loan to throw into the mix to cover carrying costs.

Maybe I can throw some ideas your way for improvement.

If we throw in those primary residence targets, the response rate for the $550K+ group goes up to 10%!

Hello All,I wanted to throw out a message in this positive BP universe.

@Rick Golden, I will throw my vote in for taking the deal.

It's not the prettiest thing but throws off decent cash flow for the investment.The property is just under 3 acres with 6 leased lots with tenant-owned homes and a 2/1 block building. 

In practice, I think a lot of people for an incidental expense just throw it all into one property.

They want to tie the place up for a year and complicate the relationship so its harder to throw them out. 

There is always throwing lots of money in savings and not doing anything fun for a year or more (depending on how long it takes to save enough) and using that.

But if you have a mean neighbor or a guest throws a beer can on someone elses lawn then your operation could get shut down and they will fine you.
