Joe Ludwiczak 40% Down to ensure good cash flow?
21 July 2022 | 28 replies
Your just buying cash flow, and since profits are made only after you recover all of your costs, and your costs are only the cash that comes out of your pocket (DP), the larger the DP, the longer it takes to recover it.If you want to see profit of this, use actual numbers instead of suggesting what a percentage will do for you.

Al Caan Do I buy more or buy in higher appreciation markets
10 March 2022 | 43 replies
That "cash flow" isn't profit until you recover all of your cash you put in from the cash you get out (cash flow).Based on your numbers above: 1 - I'm taking the average of the TH and Condos = $195k per property (I'll round that off to $200k...just because I'm sure you had other out of pockets)2 - $200k properties x 10 = $2M in cash you spent buying them.3 - $14k/m in rent - T/I (assuming $6k) = about $8k actual CF/month x 12 months = $96k/year (call it $100k)4 - $2M in cost = 20 years to recover your cost and start making a profit

You can recover from "stranger danger" much more quickly than you will from a friend who doesn't know what they're doing and does you a "favor".This one really aint DIY - Re-read Steve Vaughn's post again about finding competent representation for his 1031s..    
Christina Haws Handyman wants to rent my house before the rehab is complete
15 December 2020 | 5 replies
If you don't have any remedies in the contract, then you can either try a tactful approach of convincing them to wrap it up or you will have to try to recover damages, or you can simply file in court to try to recover damages (you are going to have to demonstrate what those damages are), small claims if it's small enough or your regular civil court if larger. 
Saikhantal Yu Whose responsibility to repair the apartment?
17 December 2021 | 10 replies
If the damage is WALLS IN then it would fall upon your HO6 policy to recover the costs.The issue is not so much who or what inflicted the damage as it is WHERE exactly the damage was inflicted.That determines the party responsible for repair.
Michael D. AB 1436 - Additional tenant protections
4 September 2020 | 9 replies
The LA Times--certainly not a conservative paper--editorialized correctly that AB 1436 would be disastrous for mom-and-pop landlords.On April 1, 2022 (yes, 2022, not until then) you will be allowed to take legal action to recover the rent from the Covid-19 period.This post is already too long, to just two more points: 1) as insane as this bill is, its sponsors also don't seem to care that it is almost certainly unconstitutional, in violation of both the state and US constitutions.
Carl Lester question for all... R we the front line???
27 June 2012 | 6 replies
So I think investors are helping the economy recover maybe just on a local basis right now but eventually I think we will help with full blown recovery.Flipping investors are taking homes that would either not be financable and repairing them which in turn keeps prices at a decent level for regular sales.They are buying homes for cash/hard money/private money and taking inventory off the market which also helps.
John Thedford New Article: Austin Tx Is Most Over Valued RE Market
13 April 2015 | 40 replies
Some of the undervalued areas have crashed so hard, and lost all of the job creators, therefore; it may be decades before they recover, if they ever do.
