Here would be the formula you should factor this deal with and you decide.ARV (use only sold properties for your values, do not use the local asking price)multiplied by 70% (Thsi can be somewhat flexible if you arent using hard money and the deal warrants a deviation.

mini update*my attorney believes it might be a descriminatory practice to allow certain individuals (homeowners before 6/05) to rent and restrict it to others (homeowners after 6/05).it should be all or none. so basically we'll see what kind of deal he can swing, maybe get them to grandfather me given the circumstances of the sale. but it just blows my mind no one else who purchased after 6/05 ever complained about this. i mean, how many people would buy a condo knowing they have no flexibility to rent if the need arose??

CASH/FINANCING11. realtor who will sell your investment property12. options/flexibility to help sell the property quick.my friend just bought a rental 8 hours away from where he lives....it's "cash flowing" for 300 a month so far (been 1 month).

you may want to talk to other investors in your area that have been doing it and learn from them. be sure to create a plan that you either type in word or write down and stick to it. best advice that was given to me was read all about investing then decide where you would like to start and surround yourself with people that have done it before. once u find what type of investing you want to do then create a plan and follow it. make sure the plan is flexible too there are bumps along the road for us newbies as we experience the world of real estate in different markets and areas of the untied states. in my opinion the most important thing is knowing your return on investment (ROI). if you're looking for cashflow maybe renting is your alley. if your looking for short return maybe wholesaling. there are many ways to invest. i suggest read them all and make your choice...

I am looking for Private money because of the flexibility and I'm trying to avoid the high upfront fees charge by Brokers and Hard Money lenders.I would like to hear more details about your Private Equity and JV process.
