The new buyer puts down 10% as the option fee, ($50,000 fee to our buyer) in this case, and we make the rate 10% to the new buyer for the monthly payment. 

This means that every year, your IRR (Internal Rate of Return) will increase.4) In an appreciation heavy market like San Diego, the IRR is going to be the best way to calculate your earnings as cash flow is fairly low relative to initial costs (down-payment, closing costs, carry costs while placing tenants)5) To calculate your IRR, you want to use this formula: (Appreciation + loan pay down +/- Net rents)/ down- payment.you can include the Closing Costs, and carry costs, but I usually do not.

do not use a line of credit for a down payment. 

Then the rents would cover that payment plus the mortgage with cash left over.

The claim was that you "skip" interest payments.

With value-add, I know I'm getting at least some of my capital out when I'm done and I'll end up with a house that should not need any significant cap-ex for quite a while.I'd do turnkey too if the numbers looked good enough but the reality is in the market where I have boots on the ground you're talking about close to 60k between down payment and closing costs for maybe $200/month in cash flow.

And of course, if your actual cash value is less than the current mortgage(s) on the property, all of the cash value payment will go to the lenders. 

When I tried to get it when my side of the family found out and tried tp take over reverse mortgage payments to bank because she had died it was to late so they sold the house to Hud and then other reverse mortgage companies but a relative still lives there so they can't kick them out.

If your loan is $110K then the payment on the 15 year would be $927/month at 6.15%; 30 year option at 6.625% would be $690.

I tried to rent one of these buildings for a developer. it was brand new construction, really well done.One after another is was voucher applicants who had criminal records, you had no idea who was actually going to be living there, some were high out of their mind and/or drunk, average credit score was 500, consistent late payments, eviction records, etc.By some miracle I rented one place out to 2 young girls looking to save some money.
