I would rather have it be more like early 2001.  07-09 did suck but we also purchased 6 houses for under 100k and we learned from that period so with cash on hand I wouldn't mind it.

In general, the minimum loans I've seen are 100k (individual properties can be lower if you are buying multiples from the same owner but the loan still must total 100k-ish).

(Which should be based on your equity and your total net worth.)

The more hands off you become in single family rentals, the more they start to look like syndications, i.e. trusting wholesalers or realtors to send you deals, buying based off their packages, hiring management companies and trusting them to do everything correctly, etc.  

Purchase price: $285,000 Cash invested: $135,000 Side by side 2-family properties (4 units in total), which needed either updating or a full build out.

This is totally normal for investors.

However, I am totally out of my league understanding the possibilities of an MTR. 

Baselane is easy enough to use that I can do it myself so I'm now saving by not paying those expenses and I prefer to be more hands on anyway so I have a better understanding of my expenses and profitability. 

They can cut me out once but here are the consequences...The entire industry and my connections will know they are a bunch of crooks, and 2. why would you want to cut the hand that feeds you?

Credibility and competence simply validate that choosing you was indeed the right choice.People do business with people they like.With an amazing personality, people will find reasons and excuses to work with you, even if you're not an authority in this space.On the other hand, if you’re a complete jerk, people will find reasons and excuses NOT to work with you, despite you being an authority in this space.So what we’ve done is make sure that GrumpyHare websites, out-of-the-box, show your traffic immediately who you are, what you’re like, and what it would be like to work with you—all aligning with the traits a motivated seller is looking for in a cash buyer.This is what I call the Conversion Psychology of Motivated Sellers.And this is the core engine of GrumpyHare.The result?
