Borrowers in certain states or with high credit scores may qualify for  80% cash-out , but it’s important to weigh the pros and cons.

I have $80k liquid in CDs and savings accounts in the bank and a credit score between 760 - 780.

While you building your score you will be looking for land to buld a home on and jerome will be telling you how to go about finding best location to buld the house the best criteria  to use to pick that locTion and thw price point you want to pay.

When we did it, we did score some great deals, but what we found was that we were visiting so many properties to understand our "strike price" (the maximimum we would pay for the property when taking into account rehab costs, hold times, interest on any debt, closing costs, real estate commissions, a contingency reserve for "unexpecteds", etc) that the math started to not make as much sense.

Californians looking to buy a house face some of the country's most expensive real estate prices and wildfires that threaten scores of housing tracts.I saw an article a day or two ago saying car insurance would/was following suit. 

Airbnb algorithm is a mystery somewhat - but the algo does factor your cleaning fee, cancellation policy, review score, and more when factoring visibility.

Yeah but the much earlier versions.

:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

Nothing is truly "passive" and a big misconception with new folks wanting to enter the real estate arena.For example, just bought a 6 unit using leverage and trying to secure a loan was a disaster of a process.I can only imagine what others have to go through on every time they purchase a property using leverage.But then again, I'm bias to the "cash only" approach.The constantly changing conditions, terms, keeping tight bookkeeping records and tax returns in order and regularly manipulating the BS credit score algorithm.Placing good tenants is more a skill then hope.It took me 10+ years to fully wrap my head around using leverage the right way and being able to "manipulate" the system to get better rates with a quicker turn around.Keep being great thanks for your reading and replying to my comments 🙏

Find a home owner who is in default and have them agree to let you save their credit score and going into forclosure.
