For simplistic format, if you can state the following: Asking price, the % you offer on the asking price or what you offered, Did the seller accepted,rejected, or countered (with what), and what was your experience?

Making this simplistic.

Dollar goes down, imported goods get more expensive, inflation rises.Admittedly, there are MANY other factors at play this year (insecurity In, well, everything due to perceived economic risk) so my example is extremely simplistic.

This may sound simplistic, but I stopped stressing about all the little fees a long time ago.

Making this simplistic.

Can you really justify such a low "reasonable salary" for all of you (even if its just $20k but if there are five of you that's $100k annually, just as as simplistic example) and the extra filing work to make the S Corp worth it? 

From a simplistic calculation the remaining taxable income = Purchase Price - Sale Price - $500K from 121.

So, IMHO, the 2% rule is overly simplistic and will result in may potential investors spiking over deals that would actually meet their criteria if they did a real analysis.

Here is what the (simplistic) numbers would look like at the moment:Purchase Price: 35kReno Cost: 20kARV: 85-90k (85k was low end, per appraiser)Time: 3 monthsRent: 850-900/Mo.Currently I am saying that as the hard money lender I should make a return on my cash investment (55k).

That is the simplistic answer to how this would be wholesaled.
