When comparing my strategy to locking into a 15 year, I feel the benefits of the 30 year with the options far outweigh a couple fractions of a percent of interest.

I haven't done yellow letters specifically for buyers, but postcards have worked very good for me and possibly at a fraction of the cost..

@Apollos Hall if you aren't into land lording, and you are bored and need a hobby, I'd say use a fraction of it to flip a house to see if you like flipping houses and invest the other portion in ETFs or mutual funds until you decide if real estate is the way you want to go with it.

Why would an investor settle for a percentage (or other fractional financial arrangement) if they have the money, instead of just doing the deal themselves?

There are a TON of great REI books out there, you could buy every one of them and still probably only spend a fraction of what you would spend on guru seminars.

When I sold a property in TX, the disclosures were a fraction of what I have to do in CA.

He's in a pickle.I suggested a few state aid programs.Please, advise me on my idea as follows: I can purchase the property from him for a fraction of what its worth and get his taxes up to current value.

I say let em try to get $10,000,000 from me on a deal worth a fraction of that.Not that you are trying to break the deal, that's just kinda laughable to me to be at ten million dollars.

Even with the tax deduction, its some large fraction of a dollar that should have been mine and isn't.

I ran this for myself, and realized that if I can pay off all my debts, including my house (yes, some here will say that's crazy talk), I can live on a tiny fraction of my current income.
