However, like I said in my funny comment, anyone of them can be good or bad at the task on their own merit.

The fellow landlord is currently improving his property and has merit. 3.

For instance, I have a 40 unit investment purchased with seller financing- the cap rate is around 6% (seller Financed properties have inflated prices hence the lower cap rate), the cash flow is in healthy 5 digits;So still a great investment given the nature of non-institutional debt and the great cash-flow.We specialize in off-market deals & what we teach our clients is to not get stuck in cookie-cutter calculations but evaluate each deal in its own merit.

You want to judge the merits of the investment, not adding the cost of your labor.I also calculated your cost of capital at 4.8%.

Hi @Chanel OldhamAcquiring Strategies 1) Buying on Sub2 is a good idea, know that the loan can be called due, but probably will not be called if the loan is paid promptly. 2) Lease Option and assign, and make an assignment fee, is a strategy that has merit.

BTW, I just noticed that my total expenses - mortgage works out to show that the 50% rule does seem to have some merit after all... heh

I definitely can't rule out a SFM and must judge each deal on it's own merits.

When it comes to loan terms, they are pretty straight forward on their own merit.

Kristine Marie Poe so driving for $ does not sound like a strategy that has any merit from your viewpoint?

I represent a number of Hard Money lenders and they are each unique in what they look for.Simple answer is yes there are some lenders who will lend based on the merits of deal itself.
