If the insurance isn't done properly, it's on the edge of impossible to cash the check because it's made out to the lender, my company, and the seller(s). 

In fact, many of our clients will concentrate their cash into one of the purchases and even purchase it with no debt if possible. 

I am trying to calculate my returns over a 10-year period using the rent-by-room strategy, which results in significantly more cash flow than traditional rentals.

Many judges would feel you got paid even if no cash was sent to you.I could see this potentially working on a higher-end property that it in excellent condition with a Grade A tenant.  

Let's of NYC investors look at other cities in NY, Rochester, Buffalo, etc... they can drive to them to see them, and they know the state well enough to feel comfortable.Most of the rust belt cities in NY offer cash flow as well. 

I personally would stay away from condo-tels as they will be even worse and you'll have less opportunity to cash flow. 

Real estate requires cash, that's why it's called in-vesting.

I bought this property with a private interest free loan from a friend. the person i bought it from need cash fast so i offered them a low cash offer and they accepted.I had enough money saved up to rehab the house with my savings.

you could take $300K and purchase one property for cash. 

I like to schedule a time to drop off a Hickory Farms gift basket before the holidays.
