This goes for nice flower pots, bikes, lawn mowers etc.

In one years time a lot can change and you could end up with a property that barely appraises for what you paid and has a pot full of deferred maintenance and issues.  

As a reserve, we put 8 months of the entire 'cashflow' into a rainy day fund too, which we draw from for repairs and is our safety net. I

Make sure you have a good fire hearth in the kitchen with a black pot stand instead of a range for maximin profit  All is good.

The above makes sense but 4 days its just NOT enough time to analyze all possible deals (big net i spike about) This is why you see over and over the same investors attempting to buy on just a couple of zip codes or area (usually the markets they know the best)I'm POSITIVE that a "big net" is one of the "must haves" to win bids a constant base. 

We are still working on the remaining terms but I was thinking I could sweeten the pot by saying I would pay them the balance within x amount of years (Perhaps 10 or so??)

Any good investor will be flexible and open to ideas, so I would see if there is enough equity that you could offer them potentially to sweeten the pot to where you have to bring less or no earnest money if the margins allow for it. 

We will be 50/50 patterns and after everything is split down the middle net I will pay the mortgage each month of course.

Added Hulu to this as well.2) We have a normal coffee pot with grounds, and we also get local coffee beans and a grinder for a unique element.

Shame on your PM for being so gullible and throwing it on you Do you honestly believe the IRS is after these folks who probably don’t even have a pot to %|$$ in ?
