I do want to keep it as a rental but right now i want to make a fast nickel instead of a slow dime.

We wanted to get a few flips under our belts to obtain enough equity to start paying cash/purchasing rentals to cash-flow from to keep our passion paying for itself without touching a dime of our monies.  

Eric Heller not only saved my home permanently, but never charged my a dime!

There are no other debts to this house and whatever repair work needs to be done the investor won't have to worry paying a dime because the seller agreed to take care of the repair work.

You will repat ever dime if it takes you the rest of your life!

Can the lowest bidder provide the speed and quality you are looking for at lowest price because he has the lowest overhead, or because he lowballs bids to get the work, and then nickels and dimes you to death with up-charges for all the unforseen "problems" he uncovers.

So far I have not had to touch a dime of savings though.  

@Scott Loudwhile it's no more or less risky from the perspective of the loan - as a loan made with cash in a checking account is no more risky than a loan made with retirement funds or with dimes and nickels - it seems like you'd use separate funds that you could afford to take some losses on, rather than retirement funds. 

This is a good poll to be discussed because I am honestly confused how anyone can make a dime on the MLS.

A company that doesn't nickle and dime and knows what it's doing with a reasonable fees?
