In the particular case of that link in Oakland, he was doing something that's super advanced to be a "100% financed cash buyer," this can also just be the 25% down paired with a bank loan at the point of purchase. 

It's called matched pairs.What matched pairs does is compare two properties to one another.

I only charge this little because the pair I rent was left behind from an eviction and I have rented them for 3 years with only $120 in repairs, so they have paid me dividends many times over.The apartment complexes in the area get about $125/month.

Have you got a good pair of shoes?

Because if it does it seems like it would be a slam dunk, because $350 in cashflow is better than what my calculations have been looking like in Bloomington (potentially because I'm doing something wrong or because I'm looking at a house hack to get myself started) and pairing that with a decent CAP rate and an appreciating property sounds to me like a solid deal.

Personally if this does happen I would like to see this paired with legislation that no longer requires a home address to become a W2 employee, which I imagine would help with some of the homeless problems many parts of the country are facing.While I think that this stuff may help increase the quality of life of those at the bottom, I do worry that this will all make profiting off of REI much more difficult.

Hey @Chris Billington if you're looking into the Greenville market, Andrew Pair is a good guy to reach out to.

You won't be able to pair hard money with another loan.

When buying or selling anything (real estate, mortgage, pair of shoes, it does not matter), it is worth considering where the other party is coming from.

The dilemma I've encountered is the large cash position I currently have in the property, roughly $3mm (acquisition + renovation costs) paired with the looming recession.
