The entire teachings had gone from Nickersons conservative but a cash flowing small residential property, hopefully for 10 -15% below market, do immediate repairs, then slowly over time improve the property and raise rents, either refi cash out or trade tax free for a larger property.

What I recall from Aaron's deals was it wasn't about finding ever larger seller financed deals, but keeping the old seller as essentially a PML....keeping you from constantly looking for new funding when you already have someone that agreed to fund you essentially. 

After waiting out a lengthy eviction and doing nothing more than a clean-out, we listed it with a realtor—and walked away with just shy of $200K in profits!

Honestly, I think this might be more symptomatic of larger issues in the real estate world in general.

On your tax return you would report the proceeds, subtract costs and proceeds paid to seller, then the remaining profit would be your flat fee.

Just much more profitable bookings as I set my price higher. booking.com brings people at a much higher price more than Airbnb brings people at a lower price.Originally posted by @Brendan Curley:@Ken Latchers  what did booking.com do to prove you owned the home and how are they processing credit card payments for you? 

Suggesting to them buying their house for a wholesale range offer or lower dependent on the extent of the rehab, then having a contract in place that gives them a percentage of the profit to help get them back on their feet, paying off debts etc.

There is no reason that the property has to be profitable for you as an investor. 

(larger would require fire sprinklers). 

Year over year we've seen impressive appreciation rates and often times investors are able to re-sell at a profit a year later with minimal to no work.
