It's doubled and it doesn't appear to be slowing down!

He started out clueless and he is now just doubling down with the lies in a poorly executed blackmail attempt of sorts.

Purchase price: $72,000 Cash invested: $95,000 Sale price: $140,000 househack double What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I just wanted to double check before I escalated things.

double check your outlay of costs on arbitrage. you may not be paying to buy a property, but you will have to furnish it, carry insurance, and pay the owner their money too. and at the end of the day, the owner can stop your "business" and take it off the market or sell it at any time. 

Double check to see if that works.

This reminds me of the people who wanted double the appraised value for their homes because of the STR business they were renting.

The first being - don't bring your friends or family into the mix :)Since it sounds like you're pretty solidified in your friend moving in, and it could be a good first roomie, so just to get your feet wet... i'll double down on Laura's advice - do a lease, for the legalities, but i also highly recommend some sort of written (we call it a) Room Mate Agreement.

Credit card debt can be a double edge sword because after the zero interest teaser rate runs out, you really have problems.

I only have one deal under my belt so far which was a double-wide house flip.
