And thirdly, to save some money.It is very, very difficult to find a better example than this crisis to illustrate what I've always said is the biggest risk advantage of DIY investing: you are the contractor of last resort. 

@Shafi NossWithout an example, I can't be sure we're on the same page.Say you bought a property for $200k 10 years ago, depreciated $50k of it, and are selling it for $300k now.You have a $150k capital gain, $50k of which is taxed under 1250 recapture rules, and $100k under long-term cap gains rules.Now, a mathematically flawed example below, just to illustrate the concept.

To illustrate the money making potential of MF, an example I like to think about is, if you own 10 units and you increase rents by just $20, you get $200 extra income / month, which equals $2400 / year.

Practice delineates five ways to challenge a foreclosure, with detailed references and footnotesFrequently Asked Questions on 150/90 Day Right To Cure Notice, Division of Banks.Helpful information for lenders on requirements for a right to cure notice.Foreclosure Timeline, Middlesex North Registry of Deeds, July 2013Blog post uses an example to illustrate the timing of an Order of Notice in the foreclosure processForeclosure Prevention Counseling Resources, National Consumer Law Center"Practical tools and resources for housing counselors, attorneys, and other advocates who are counseling homeowners threatened with foreclosure."

A hypothetical example I may add for illustration purposes.100K purchase price25K rehab6.6 down payment + closing costs Loan amount 118,400Insurance out of pocket as well as Taxes.So let's say you are 15K in holding costs through the project.The new ARV (After Repair Value) is 200K.When you refinance the new lender will calculate 75% of 200K = $150,000 minus closing costs.150,000 - 118,400 = 31,600 to you.
