They need some time to figure out basic finances 101 before they end up in more trouble than they started.But it’s situations like watching those people that has me saying that you have to be ready for the next step and what it takes to maximize that.

Your job is to maximize where you are in 2 years.

Still, you want to maximize this percentage and so we can pretty much completely throw out and ignore anything we can't charge at least 1% of the price, so the second one which would cash flow like 50$ is gone.The first one depending on your goals is at least feasible, as Jon said it would probably cash flow 200+ a month on average with a cash return of 7-10% depending on if you did the management.

So I don't see any way to maximize that benefit.So what if you set up an LLC and then rent from that?

Lately I've been dabbling the numbers to maximize the cash on cash return for rental properties.

We avoid this in Riverside by not playing in the MLS, but if you are going to play in the MLS, remember that you need to tailor your offer to the property to maximize results.

If it's already zoned for the intended use then there is not much you can do as it was approved a long time ago.This happened to a subdivision here.The front was approved with the site plan a long time ago the developer just didn't build it.When the subdivision only sold out to 50% another investor bought the front entrance piece to put a strip center in.The city told the HOA there was nothing they could because the plan was already approved years ago the developer just waited to build on the land.So the key part to this is the new buyer are they building off of existing approved plans or does the parcel have mixed use and the investor is trying to maximize their return by building apartments??

Attempting to take all you can is not underwriting.HMLs aren't banks, they can't borrow through the federal reserve, they have a limited amount of money to work with and while it does make perfectly good sence to maximize profits at the highest utilization of assets, being excessive is not in the public good, nor is it for the industry or themselves in the long run.

I am considering buying houses in the 75-100,000 range.I know some may say buy multi but I ahve been looking and can't really find the right one.If you were in my position, how would you proceed, again looking to maximize cash flow.Thanks in advance.

If not, get a copy of each from the owner asap.I wouldn't be in a hurry to maximize the rents.
