They then take those notes and package them with others from similar purchases and sell them along with their analysis to private investment funds.This leaves 45 notes from a package of 1,000 that three professional investment funds, doing intensive analysis by highly trained MBAs, have determined cannot yield even a minimal investment return.These are then offered to the individual investor, who according to those in the industry “with something to sell” (the leftover NPNs and/or “training”) can profit enormously by (1) making them re-performing notes or (2) foreclosing and selling the property for large profits.The pitch from those “with something to sell” is twofold: (1) “There is plenty of meat left on the bone” (actual quote), and (2) if you send the borrower a complete package of all docs, weighing, say, five pounds you will “shock and awe” him into paying on the note.I highly doubt either of these claims have even a micron of validity.The parties with a financial interest in you buying into this will cite isolated instances of great success, never mentioning the all-more-frequent instances of total failure.So at the end of the day the training promoters have collected up to $30,000 per person for their NPN “mentoring”/”coaching” program, the retail asset disposer has made 50% to 100% profit on their inventory, private middlemen have turned a $2,500 investment in a note into $16,000, and my sister-in-law who purchased 5 NPNs over three years ago and has spent large amounts on attorneys, taxes, and brokers has yet to see a penny in return.To paraphrase, if you don’t know who the sucker is in any ultra-high profit promise situation, it’s you.

Don't forget there is value in good service and being able to get the loan closed with minimal headaches!

I have a solid property manager that I've been using for ten years, and the reno is relatively minimal at this point (haven't been into the units yet but based on the the pictures it would be minimal repairs and updating as desired), mostly cosmetic stuff outside and in the common areas.

What is the best way to take minimal losses on a brand new 2018 vehicle?

I've even removed CapEX (new property, minimal required), and property management, but still arriving at a negative CF.

There are ideas to minimize taxes, but no need to create unnecessary expenses.

If you're planning on continuing to buy for years and years then the exact timing is minimized-some you'll buy up, some you'll buy down, and they'll all average out.

This isn't as big of a problem if the building is adequately cash-flowing and you have minimal value-add rehab.

Now prices have soared and returns are minimal and inventory is low.

Even at those figures we're talking a 20-25% ROI and i'll see my money back in probably under 4 years with minimal work.
