All the numbers flow from that, including figuring out financing where you don't leave too much money behind.If you buy right and rehab and/or increase rents to get a big increase in value, you can increase the value of the property in a short period of time and get a cash out loan on the increased value to recoup most or all of your 20% down.

I maxed out dti so I didn't bother with HELOC.But if I had choice I'd do cash out again simply because it's your cash and can't get called due like a HELOC could in theory.Also for delayed buy house cash you'd have to talk to lender about llc but I'm sure it can be done (I don't have a LLC).It's basically allows you to bypass seasoning so if you bought well and forced appreciation you could in theory get most or all your $ back.

Do you focus your efforts near Columbus or all over the south?

If the tenant is taking most or all of that risk, the the less risk you have to incur.

Some lenders have overlays and will not go up to these maximums in some or all cases.

---Here are 3 questions if anyone can answer any or all of them I will greatly appreciate it: 1) Has anyone successfully negotiated pennies on the dollar settlement on judgement debt clouding a title PRIOR to bidding on a foreclosure? 

They may also be angry, in denial, confused, apathetic or all four!

Thanks for this wonderful website and podcasts I am currently looking for my residential house but will do house flipping or hacking or all kinds of different things in the future hopefully.Until then, signing off now..  

If you get a quality system that you can configure to record on motion or all the time with high quality cameras that you will never have to change batteries on I think you will be much happier.My digital watchdog cameras cost between $250 and $500.

On the flip side - I'm not a lawyer, and don't know if specific guidance exists for real estate investments, but let's keep in mind if you were to contest, verbal agreements and oral contracts are generally valid and legally binding.
