Scream.

The folks screaming leverage-- yes will provide cash flow, but you will be very insulated from market conditions if you are paid off. 

Also, I've had horrible luck with craigslist for this type of stuff- lots of losers, parolees, etc. who know how to hussle- one guy was very nice over the phone, but then brings his WT wife and child to the job, all screaming at each other.

I remember driving back from San Diego where I bought it,screaming in the car "I got a Lingerfelter!!!

Bush could have listened when smart economists were screaming that a lending crises was imminent.

also these days your competing against big money most of the time.. there will be far and few between any kind of screaming deal..we all back into profit the same way.. and when a hedgefund wants them for rentals .. then forget it.. or a one off person wants to live in it you will never beat them... so you do all this work get our money put aside.. show up and couple with a baby in a stroller walks up and pays 490k for a 510 house  LOL.... ug.. thats why you have to target 20 to 100 houses a month to get a few.. who can do that on their own.now in other states NOT the west coast.. its different of course..  

Used incorrectly and somebody could get bloodied.

Not a screaming deal but I can Refi all my cash out after 6 months.

When I rent to tenants I am not assuming there would be 8 screaming children tearing up my home all day!

Anyone who has watched a Dave Ramsey "Debt Free Scream" can figure that out.
