The income I'll make off those 10 homes will more than make up for the lost 300/mo in cash flow and 600/mo in principal paydown.My typical deal averages:$225 to 250/mo net cash flow$150 to 200/mo principal paydown$200 to 250/mo appreciation (figure 2%)And to me, thats simply a tradeoff that I'm willing to make.

After a lengthy foreclosure (and paying your debt to contract seller) you will still have not monetized the opportunity to your benefit. 

They both have their place but are not ideal during other full time employment due to the time required to find and monetize those deal-type models.Good luck and keep us posted.

I'm not sure how you monetize something like this.

I just got my license to increase the ways in which I can monetize leads as well as having MLS access.  

I can tell you that $539/mo Net Cash Flow in Dallas is a big, big win!  

I would think you could monetize that by bird dogging and/or wholesaling (if legal in DC).  

Once you understand how to generate leads, solve people's problems, monetize the opportunities and discover the fundamental principals of perceived added value and other value concepts and apply these in your efforts, these gurus will be distant memories in your last like a bad burrito. 

Very hard to compete with those people.I periodically come across deals that are between 10%-20% below market but can't figure out ways to monetize these kind of deals.

What is your plan to monetize the situation?
