They can stretch out an eviction for months, therefore you can't promise someone something that won't be available, not to mention you not knowing exactly how long it will take to repair the unit and get it ready for a new tenant to move in. 

I'm getting in touch with him again, as he said he was "shooting from the hip" with some of his numbers, but I figured it would be a stretch to make this work. 

If you partner with someone (I know a few folks in Bakersfield) it might stretch your money. 

You might need to stretch your budget to the 275K-285K all in 

The increased rents after renting to a new tenant are usually well-worth the change of tenants when stretching the math over a 10+ year period. 

Provided you meet all those criteria, two shouldn't be a stretch.

Started off a tad slow, but then again its mostly because my wife had our first son in Feb... getting anything done for the first 3 months was HARD...My goals werent 'stretch' goals, but something I could attain this year:6 wholesales6 flipsForm LLCExpand into one other marketAll setting up next year where I can flip one house a month, and buy 2 houses a year to build a rental portfolio.So far, I have 2 wholesales, and 2 flips going, with one flip undercontract, the other going on mkt later this week.

(either that, or they stretched the rules really far to make the value come in to where I needed it)

Corey, I'm no Pro by any stretch, but I do believe it all boils down to due diligence in having all your ducks in a rolw and full disclosure to the parties that you are dealing with.

Again, I don't want to stretch myself too thin too quickly.Thanks again.
