A couple of 1 1/2" "disposable" paint brushes.5.

A broad brush statement is you will not find positive cash flow without a great deal of cash tied up (equity).

So I was talking to another investor in the area and he had some static cling signs made that say "We Buy and Sell Houses" etc. and put 3 in the windows of his car and put them in his wife's car and other family member's cars.

(I think she knew, but she is the kind of person that if its not in her face, she will brush it off)Im not saying lie, but I am saying shhhhhhh, in the beginning.This is all being said with the assumption you have a plan, and couldnt help but be successful, once you start.

I would suggest brushing up on future and present value calculations as you start making offers, only because it will help you identify what your offer is in relation to what a cash offer would be.Couple rules of thumb I follow.#1.)

I predict both regulation and litigation over this in the future, and it makes me both angry and sad, because we ALL get painted with the same brush as the black-hat scammers.

Just give it a quick powerwash, let dry, start painting - brush, roll, or spray - all looks good.

What gets brushed under the rug in the 50% rule discussions is the collection loss and economic vacancy when people purchase properties that cash flow with low amounts of dollars invested.

The problem is that all else isn't static or equal.

For websites, if static shots are OK just use print screen or the W7 snipper tool & paste into PPTX or Word.
