., causing your negative spread to be even greater.On the other hand, you could try to pick funds or stocks that yield higher and capture the spread.  

My current employer does offer some matching though so thought it was always best to at least capture this, not to mention my employer only lets me contribute up to about $8k towards my 401k.And yes John it seems kind of silly of me, but I work enough as it is at my current job, so when I pick up extra shifts I don't want to do so unless I am getting a decent amount more than base pay as opposed to my calculation of 1.1x base, otherwise I rather spend that time doing different stuff I enjoy like learning about real estate lol (which if it isn't apparent I have much to learn).Thanks again!

I personally don’t work with buyers using a bank if they are trying to capture a great deal in a hot market.

Hi @Matt R.It is true that max value is captured and realized in a flip, as opposed to other strategies.

@Amanda Moore I'm not a wholesaler, however lead capture and follow up are pretty universal concepts.. so my question/suggestion to you would be this: I am assuming you are at least receiving some amount of phone calls from your marketing which tells you that you have at least some level of an interest to sell from property owners.

It does take a fair amount of work to pull something amazing off (because real estate is 99% boring paperwork and 1% action... so it's hard to capture the action on video/audio unless it's "fake" like TV shows.)

I specialize in assisting first-time home buyers to achieve their ultimate dream, as well as supporting real estate investors in understanding their markets to capture their highest rate of return on their investments.

ARV and how much room do I have to rehab and capture some equity?

So I captured the kicker within 5 months. 

TL;DR – Can I legally duplex down into an illegal basement unit to capture the extra 2 rooms and bathroom in that unit?
