Don't let your emotions get the best of you because you see your cash flow going down with all these repairs.

How do you secure 100% financing as a new investor?

I've tried to secure a second job, but the job market here is really tough and many of my friends have lost their jobs and been searching for up to a year in several different career fields (CO).

Not because I wasn't interested, in fact I had spent a LOT of time trying to secure such a deal, including meeting with over a dozen of these groups throughout the country.

Currently working on analyzing properties, with a goal of minimizing human emotion  and solely looking at the numbers to purchase positive cash flowing properties.  

There's a hedge fund with a separate securities arm and total company, that is going to enter those two in these things.

They are feeling less certain about their job security, their 401k and IRAs are down, costs keep rising, etc.  

Depending on the age of the kids, it could be one of them as that sounds like something a kid would do.I'd talk to the bad tenant and tell them there are security issues and reports of someone in the yard late at night. 

But, romex that hasn’t been properly secured to a beam, is kid’s stuff. 

Hi Dan, Refinancing at a lower LTV will make your monthly expense lower which helps your monthly cashflow but will also help you to secure a lower interest rate so that could be a good starting point for you.
