Figure out which ones you like and go to them as your schedule allows.

Don't have much of a buyers list yet.Just started doing marketing in my area (bandit signs, Internet adds).I'm scheduled to attend my first REIA meeting in a couple of days (very excited about that).

Regardless of us having a few items left to complete on the R2R for our new place, we had a scheduled closing date of August 15th on our property for sale and then a scheduled closing date of August 19th to purchase the new home. 

More than happy to share my experiences and thoughts if you'd like to chat, PM me to schedule.

Rent * 75% is not the correct calculation here, you will know you found someone probably doing it right when you see them perusing your Schedule E, leases, and mortgage statements. 

- Say you won a bid, is all paperwork completed right then and there or is an additional 'closing' scheduled at a later date?

@Charles S.The 50 % Rule States: That 50% of gross scheduled income (GSI) goes out over time to cover expenses not including debt coverage.The 1%, 2% and the 50% rule is meant to act as a quick analysis tool, to insure the deal is actually deal.

@Matt Brechting just give me call and we will schedule a meet. 

After looking at softwares and excel based on your recommendations, I decided to take on the challenge to create my own excel sheet that covers Income Statement, Schedule C, Estimated Taxes based on the current tax rates.

., I'll chime in w/ my limited experience as I am scheduled to close on a HUD property on Friday.  1.
